I do not, nor will I ever, know whether I'm on Camden street, Aungier street or George's Street.

I refuse to learn.

George's Street needs to get its shit together and stop changing names every ten metres. It's George's Street the entire length as far as I'm concerned

culturalfatwa.bsky.social•63 days ago

I do love that whole axis
Which ever bit i happen to be on ..

jenbren.bsky.social•63 days ago

You left out Wexford & Richmond Streets. All in the "St Kevin's District" apparently

sineadcuddihy.bsky.social•63 days ago

Eh, what did Whitefriar street do to you?

richycraven.bsky.social•63 days ago

Stop making up place names Sinéad

daithibhard.bsky.social•63 days ago

I’d love to see a map with an American street naming system. As in the road name doesn’t change until you hit a T junction. All of a sudden the lower Rathmines Road is South Georges Street.

Nobody knows where Camden St ends and Wexford St begins. NOBODY

anaemicroyalty.bsky.social•63 days ago

Okay I was agin' the original skeet, those three are clearly delineated. But you're making up streets now!

matthew-cogan.bsky.social•63 days ago

Not to mention Wexford st! Who thought it was a good idea to rename streets every five and a half paces?

rebelalliance77.bsky.social•63 days ago

You forgot Wexford street. Right between aungier and Camden st

crashtesthuman.bsky.social•63 days ago

Your average taxi driver rattling them off quickly and mistakenly, like a harried mother trying to put shoes on the youngest while ordering the two oldest out into the car.

Dawson Street and Nassau Street for me. I always always always mutter to myself, "Reads of Nassau Street!!" then I'm all set.

anaemicroyalty.bsky.social•63 days ago

Nassau is the one at the side of trinity, dawson street is hodges figgis. But I do also say reads of nassau street every time lol

ciaranlucas.bsky.social•63 days ago

Same. Who knew the most obnoxious radio ad would prove so useful?

executivesteve.bsky.social•63 days ago

I refuse to learn if it's Wicklow or Wexford Street between Aungier Street and Camden Street. (Or at least my brain has for decades conspired to prevent me from learning).

erislovesmovies.bsky.social•63 days ago

Also Mary Street is much longer than you think and Henry Street much shorter

richycraven.bsky.social•63 days ago

People in the comments making up places like Redmond's Hill and Whitefriar street but I'm not so gullible as to believe they actually exist.

richycraven.bsky.social•63 days ago

richycraven.bsky.social•63 days ago

Hear me out. We name the entire stretch Coddle Avenue

kurleymcd.bsky.social•63 days ago

Vomit Valley.

robmcfadden.bsky.social•63 days ago

coddle avenue sounds like the name of the worst trad group you ever heard

richycraven.bsky.social•63 days ago

Read the comments on this and you'll realize why Dubs use pub names for directions instead of street names.

kwoovo.bsky.social•63 days ago

Georges' st to Rathmines is already called "The Charity Shop Mile".

mcnastyprime.bsky.social•63 days ago

The rockers from Whelans coming for you.

1conor.bsky.social•63 days ago

And wexford street in-between

sue2023.bsky.social•63 days ago

Does it matter? No

astarmain.bsky.social•63 days ago

What did Wexford St and Redmonds Hill ever do to be ignored like that? Mind you it's the smallest hill you can imagine with maybe 1m of elevation change.

rockyroader.bsky.social•63 days ago

Only for @Whelans, nobody would even know about Wexford Street!

astarmain.bsky.social•63 days ago

Sad but true.

orlam90.bsky.social•63 days ago

Bringing back traumatic memories of first moving to Dublin as a young 20-something, and asking the taximan to bring me to Capitol on Awn-jhee-ay Street 🫠

chapkachapka.bsky.social•63 days ago

See also the streets I just call “North Quay” and “South Quay.”

tully8rath.bsky.social•63 days ago

Dame Street Junction to Portobello Bridge:

South Great George's Street, Aungier Street, Redmond's Hill, Wexford Street, Camden Street Lower, Camden Street Upper, South Richmond Street, Portobello Bridge... Rathmines Road Lower...
