1060.0. "Galway City Inquiry" by USPMLO::OBRIEN () Wed May 20 1992 12:36

    We have an opportunity to rent a house on Murrough Ave in the city and
    wondered if this was a nice side of town. We thought we would rent a
    car and try to visit as much as possible in the two weeks.
    We welcome suggestions for the first 2 weeks of August.
    Thanks,
    John

1060.1Nice area, good people.MACNAS::JDOOLEYDo not take anything for grantedThu May 21 1992 05:5624
    Murrough Avenue is situated in the suburb of Renmore on the East side
    of Galway City and can best be described as middle class and
    respectable. The school and church in Renmore is kept to a very high
    standard and the area is highly regarded in the City.
    
    It is very convenient to Digital, being only 1.5 miles away from the
    plant.
    
    It enjoys a frequent (every 20 minutes or so...) bus service.
    
    In the first two weeks of August, EVERYONE in Ireland takes holidays
    and heads to Galway. It is strongly advised that you book ahead and
    book now by phone. ( Our postal service is now on strike). The whole
    population of Galway expands threefold at that time of year so be
    warned, book your accomodation ahead of time.
    
    Galways Race Festival occurs the last week in July so you might run
    into that. It is basically one big party with a lot of drinking,
    dancing and singing and entertainment and is good fun, just make sure
    you make enquiries from the locals before driving so they can best
    advise you when to avoid the inevitable traffic jams that such large
    sporting events involve.
    
    
1060.2How do I spell relief? C-R-U-N-C-HKEPNUT::CORRIGANTake yer hand outa my pocket babyTue Oct 27 1992 06:567
       Another Galway city inquiry then. I've recently moved to the
     City of Tribes and am in need of a chiropractor. All this lifting
     of boxes and luggage and pints has my back in a real state.
       Would anyone have a recomendation for a good cracker of spines.
     I frequented a chiro back home in the Boston area. Always did the
    trick.
