Helen Turkington, Mint, GMalePosted Monday, May 11, 2009There's a good bit of coverage of Ranelagh businesses in yesterday's Sunday Business Post - Helen Turkington is profiled, there's word from Dylan McGrath on why Mint closed, and there's a story about GMale, run by Gavan and Joe Glynn. The Glynns clearly know their audience: "an Xbox is available to play at reception, while beer is offered in the afternoon and sports generally feature on GMale’s plasma screens." posted by Drew Shiel | 6:04 AM

comments Mint Restaurant ClosesPosted Thursday, May 07, 2009There's some coverage on the Herald of the closure of Mint, Ranelagh's top-rated restaurant, and a bit of speculation as to who to blame. Interesting material, and of course, there's the question of whether the next business in that premises will survive long - I've seen three different businesses in there, as well as a period when it was unoccupied. posted by Drew Shiel | 5:03 AM

comments Bistro Bianconi Chef to enter World ChampionshipsPosted Thursday, February 26, 2009Bistro Bianconi's Fran Carroll is to enter the world pizza championships in Las Vegas. Apparently, his entry is the Jameson & Black Pizza, "An unlikely combination of Jameson Whiskey, Clonakilty black pudding, Cashel blue cheese, bacon and apple"If that makes it to the menu in Bistro Bianconi, I'll be trying it. If it doesn't, I may have to try making it myself... posted by Drew Shiel | 12:56 AM

comments Tree DownPosted Tuesday, January 27, 2009There's a fine image of a tree down in Ranelagh Gardens in Speak from the Hip. It's been a long time since I've seen trees coming down in Ranelagh, but since this winter's weather has been a lot colder and windier than the last few, I suppose it's not surprising. posted by Drew Shiel | 1:09 AM

comments Ranelagh Balloon Flight & Pearse SchoolsPosted Thursday, September 25, 2008There are two Ranelagh mentions in the Irish Times today. One concerns Patrick Pearse's legacy as an educator, with regard to the school in Cullenswood House, and the other is an entry in the Irishman's Diary column about the unveiling of a statue in Ranelagh Gardens to commemorate the balloon launch there in 1785 by a fellow called Richard Crosbie. posted by Drew Shiel | 5:56 AM

comments Charleston Road Listed BuildingPosted Friday, August 08, 2008The Dublin People has an article up about the entry of 34 Charleston Road on the Record of Protected Structures. It seems the owner wasn't correctly notified when the building was listed, and in any case, says that the house has "no particular architectural merit; that there was no historical association with a famous person or event; that it was not part of an interesting group of buildings; that it did not illustrate any point of social or economic history and that it was not built with any technological innovation or virtuosity." Dublin City Council seem to differ. posted by Drew Shiel | 1:53 AM
