Summer in Dublin.

A car-friendly Grafton Street, late 1970s.

Includes vintage bus porn (the No 11!), the sun and a Hare Krishna/man-in-flared-suit stand off.

Good times.

Dublin City Council’s public consultation document on the pink ‘n’ grey regeneration of Grafton Street (you can help choose which sort of paving) is now available (see here).

Notice the proposed replacement of ye olde Georgian-style lampposts, bollards and bins for blandly sleek European-style street furniture. We’ve already objected.
