Midleton

[jeepers]

Am on my holliers in Cork at the moment and passed through Midleton yesterday on the way home from the beach. Must have been 20 years since I've been there. Highly impressed. Thriving-looking spot, lots of independent traders. Close enough to town and the beach, lovely surrounding countryside, it's got a lot going for it. Fair play, Midletonians, fair fucking play.

Far from it. East Cork is underrated in a big way. It would hold its own with most full counties.

That's gas timing, on a trip back from Inch beach today through Midleton meself and herself were only talking about how handy east cork is for access to the sea, the motorway and the city.....and we expressed surprise about how little attention Midleton (and its environs) get as a great place to live, particularly when you include the train line.

They can fill it to the brim with cinemas and McDonalds the only thing interesting to look sideways out the window at in east cork is the bewildered wan with the dolls in the buggy.

East Cork in general is a bit meh, and the so called "Ring of Cork" is a nonsense, but in fairness to Middleton it's a town that is thriving with the bypass and great road down as well as railway it's turned Midleton into a dormer town for Cork City and the critical mass of people down there has ensured the survival of the various boutiques down there that withered and died in most other towns around.
