Very sad. The Luas worked had it hemmed in for over a year.
:-(
Wonder if there wold be a brave /foolish soul out there who would want to take it on?
Lighthouse has shown what needs to be done for value added approach to cinema.
never been to the lighthouse, maybe they could take it over? Be cool to have something simnilar on the right side of the river
site was already sold to same developer who bough An Post building next door and department of health building behind it so thats a pretty huge city centre site
silver lining is huge office development = big companies = jobs
does this mean that he ugliest building in Ireland Hawkins House is to go?
That the Dept of Health building?
If so, easily the ugliest building in Dublin. Ironically, it looks like the type of place you’d catch TB.
Would the IFI not be the southside equivalent of the Lighthouse?
Or, the Lighthouse being the Northside IFI?
I actually came close to saying that in my initial post :D
I don’t know, have been to the IFI lots and really like it. But the super trendies I know at work who live over in Smithfield/Stoneybatter would say that there’s no comparison. Why, I don’t know :)
Having been in both, they’re both perfectly nice, and I suppose the selection in the Lighthouse is a little less arthouse than the IFI, but not by much. It could just be a trendiness thing – I grew up in the area and am old enough to remember when Smithfield was nothing but warehouses and council houses so that doesn’t really effect me the same way.
43 years actually.
WHO GOT FLORESCENT SIGNAGE
make it into a Starbucks like everywhere else in town
Denis Miller, is that you?
Doesn’t follow the classic Miller structure: set up/indignation/cultural reference.
it was The New Metropole last time I was threr.
Very sad, I was fond of the Screen. If someone takes it over, can they refurbish the awful structure it is built upon?
well done blushirts, nice wan for yer developer mates
D’Olier street has possibly the ugliest, most decrepit set of buildings in the city centre. A total eyesore. It needs developing.
Maybe it could do without 5 lanes of traffic going through it, for it to have a chance.
Is socialist Ireland, we won’t need cars. Equal misery for all!
D’olier street, has some beautiful Georgian buildings with the old art deco Dublin Gas Company building.
The Harp office block is pretty ugly but if it was tidied up (made all shinny & glassy) it would contrast really well with the rest of the street.
The street has huge potential.
I agree, but why are you guys talking about the street around the corner?
I don’t know but you’ve now put the tune to
“School Around the Corner”
into my head. But I’m humming it to the wheels on the bus!!!!!!!!!
:( What will happen to the cool usher statue pointing towards the cinema?
It’ll probably end up in the Little Museum
Wasn’t that the site of the old 4000 seater Theatre Royal too?
