I was born in India , lived in Ireland for over 15 years , and out of those 15 , 9 were spent in Athlone . I live in Toronto now , but boy do I miss Ireland and Athlone in particular. Every nook and corner of its roads and streets.. I hope to go back and and live in Athlone some day :`(

gordie1989 ', i discovered it for myself when I got married.. Lived in Dublin before moving to Athlone. Coz I had friends there and I wanted to get away from hustle and bustle of Dublin. Rents are cheaper, small town charms et al. I liked the size of Athlone.. Not too spread out and not too small either. I guess my time. Galway just 90 kms from there and Dublin 120 odd. Nice touristy town. I love traveling! South America is next

While on holiday in Ireland from the States, I took a train from Dublin to Galway and the train stopped in Athlone and I momentarily thought about just getting off there and chilling for two or three days before heading to Galway. I wish I would have done that!

Athlone culture involves family feuds, head cases and drinking dutch gold and having a bag of chips beside the river shannon.

Isn't the sculpture fake - 4:11 . It's bigger than the oak piece

[@themadfarmer5207]

Luckily some town official didn't get his way of demolishing the castle to make a carpark. Batteries demolition was an act of vandalism
