An awful pity that tonight's Spooktacular in Bram Stoker Park had to be cancelled due to the heavy continuous rainfall.
A lot of work had been put into it by @dublincitycouncil.bsky.social - Thank you.
There is another DCC event in May Park tomorrow, Friday 31 October, from 2 pm to 5 pm

The 73 now serving Marino and Fairview from today, 19 October. Significant changes on the route. Now travelling through Gardiner Street rather than O'Connell Street. Not travelling through Dame Street. Less frequent off peak service #73DublinBus #SignificantChange #OConnellStreet #123DublinBus #FMLH

The popular 123 at Fairview Church, junction of Philipsburgh Avenue and Fairview Strand.
Building of the church began in 1847 and the church opened in January 1855.
The 123 replaced the 24 in 1993.
Anyone with old photos of the corner shop or Tallons across from it?
