Yeah, you're right Gnomie. It was a good around there in those days - 1970's 80's. I spent a lot of time around there with friends and their families who lived in Hope st, Faulkner st and other streets around there. I never went to the Casablanca club but I knew someone who was a regular.
I remember the Chauffers.
We used to go in the Crack in Rice st. The Caledonian and the Blackburn, and of course the Philharmonic pub. What was the name of the pub that was later called Peter Kavanaghs ? - originally it wasn't called that, it had another name. Was it the Grapes?? It's on Egerton st.
Do you remember the grocers on the corner of Faulkner and Hope st ? (not sure what year it closed tho' - could have been in the 70's). My friend's family used to get the shopping there.
There was a general shop around the corner on canning st. It's still there I think. We'd go there for the Echo, cigs, sweets and stuff.
I used to go to art college in Hope place.
Margaret Simey lived in a lovely old house on the side of Blackburn House(girls school).
Wonder why that school ever closed ?? It was a good school in those days.
Those huge houses are fabulous. What a shame that so many were demolished - I can just about remember those big 3 & 4 storey ones on Parliament st, Grove st, and around about. There are a few surviving thank God ! Imagine how fantastic it would have been if all those grand buildings had been renovated.
I wasnt there until 1984. i remember The Pilgrim and the Belvedere. The Blackburne was our regular.I knew Margaret Simey, what a great personality she had. My sister went to Blackburne School.
The Casablanca had a room for dancing. just a dark room with a juke box in the corner. but what a great place to go
