At the Heart of the Event Centre Memorial experience will be the sod. “You can touch it, rub it, smell it, but you can’t build on it,” said one City Council official;)

Cork heads: The Glen River parkrun turns 250 this weekend. We wrote about it in this week’s long read on T+D:) It’s a great way to start the weekend and the volunteers are an amazing bunch. 9:30am this Saturday and wear some green☘️☘️ piece below

Congrats to all the crew in Miyazaki on Evergreen St. 10 years open inniú. Thanks for all the washoku!!!

As guitarist Adam Walsh tells T+D, "there is a great scene in Cork at the moment; Pebbledash and The Cliffords are really good, so are Mossy. There’s so many great bands in Cork actually, you couldn’t count them on two hands.” Add to that his new band, the Cutouts.

Will definitely be passing this on to family members who have been left stranded multiple times by #Cork's terrible #bus service.

Fair play Sasha Mitichkin. He built No-Show Bus Cork in 24 hours. It’s up and running, unlike some of city’s buses! Full story here: tripeanddrisheen.substack.com/p/bus-didnt-...

Ballsy move from the Marina Market crew. Also, given that their planning permission is good for five years…well make what you want of that???

A few years ago we brought out a winter print edition of T+D. Still a few copies left. Some great articles including this recipe for karage frm super lovely Mike McGrath which included this how did it get past us howler of a typo. The fault was entirely ours!!! In first image… see if u can spot it.

It’s all getting a bit messy and confusing and multi-coloured 🙈🙈

Half a ferris wheel is better than two in the Lee

The single bestest thing to happen to Cork since winning the Double is making Fr Matthew Quay a place for peoples!!! Makes your heart sing your nose weep. With joy!

One of T+D's most read and most commented on pieces is a review of €670k sculpture trail unveiled in Cork city last year. Public art can and is great, but no matter how you spin it Island City can be best summed up in one very internet word: meh tripeanddrisheen.substack.com/p/is-corks-6...

The gumbo in Bayou on MacCurtain Street has some kick to it. Lovely spot. Also this was just after lunch time when them it just cleared out. Get. In. There.
