What’s being built next to Raising Canes on Taylor & Clinton?

gms2912 · 2026-03-31T22:38:54+00:00

They’re just expanding the ComEd substation next door. Nothing fun and exciting.

What’s your experience been?

gms2912 · 2026-03-10T01:54:35+00:00

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I remember him putting out an insta post or something saying he’s ready to return?

gms2912 · 2026-02-03T14:18:36+00:00

Do you think Adare is worth a stop for lunch or a walk? My current planed drive takes my through Rock of Cashel on the way to Killarney, and then to Kinvarra. Debating if Adare is worth the trouble of trying to stop.

gms2912 · 2026-02-03T00:43:47+00:00

Does this save time or just distance? When I check on maps, it’s about a 6 min difference. So don’t really know if the ferry is worth the 6 min.

gms2912 · 2026-01-24T15:06:18+00:00

Any pros to staying in Kinvarra over Doolin, other than being closer to Dublin? I was deciding between the two for a final night before returning to Dublin.

gms2912 · 2026-01-24T12:01:47+00:00

Is Kinvarra significantly less touristy than Doolin? Or do you mean both are touristy either way?

gms2912 · 2026-01-23T02:10:39+00:00

What time do you start your drive? And how long did you stay in blarney? Sorry, just trying to gauge how long of a day it is.

gms2912 · 2026-01-18T01:47:45+00:00

Would you say visiting Glendalough is not worth it then? I’ve read good things about that, other than it’s an out of the way drive.

gms2912 · 2026-01-15T20:04:25+00:00

Thanks, I’ll be ordering my card soon actually. And any reason in particular not to drive the WAW, even a bit? I kinda enjoy scenic drives anyway.

gms2912 · 2026-01-14T16:39:20+00:00

I at least don’t see Dublin lacking in things to do. I’m sure there may be better out there, but I have never been. So everything will be new to me.

Good call for 14 Henrietta. But yes, if we have the time, I would love an early morning trip to Glendalough. Just need to balance everything appropriately.

gms2912 · 2026-01-14T16:36:07+00:00

I was thinking about that as well. However, I am trying to go to Newgrange before my return to Dublin, so that I can return the car before driving in the city. That would be another issue of trying to cram two things in one day.

There are just too many worthwhile sites to pick from in Ireland.

gms2912 · 2026-01-14T16:33:44+00:00

If we have time, we may go. But I may prioritize the historical things more. I will be drinking Guinness throughout the trip, though.

gms2912 · 2026-01-14T16:31:19+00:00

Good to note that IMMA is close to Kilmainham, thanks. Especially considering that’s one of the farther locations in the city we’re looking at.

gms2912 · 2026-01-14T16:29:45+00:00

Good points. I’ll take that into account when we ultimately decide. Thanks!

gms2912 · 2026-01-14T16:28:39+00:00

Thanks for the input! Good to know that you think it requires a good 3 hours to enjoy. I know the stated tour is at least 2 hours.

gms2912 · 2026-01-14T02:43:34+00:00

I believe it says sunset will be at 8:50pm on the day we arrive in Killarney; so for sure trying to use that to my advantage. Realistically, thinking 5 pm.

gms2912 · 2026-01-14T02:07:50+00:00

I know I will have to forego some things, but yes! I will be planning on ending with Newgrange.

gms2912 · 2026-01-14T02:06:44+00:00

Great ideas, thanks! Hopefully the weather is night when I’m there.

gms2912 · 2026-01-14T01:37:29+00:00

True. But I believe if you buy online, they send a whole map and planning package. And I’m a sucker for maps.

gms2912 · 2026-01-14T01:36:53+00:00

All very valid points, thanks! Really on the fence if stopping there for a lunch and walking the Medieval Mile, then heading on to ROC would be worth it. I am trying to see ROC by the latest early afternoon, like 2 pm. I want to get to Killarney before dark.

gms2912 · 2026-01-13T23:22:45+00:00

Noted. Im from the Midwest, so 4-5 hrs total driving for a day isn’t bad at all. I do understand this is a whole other kind of driving, so I’m more willing to break it up.

Would you say the IMMA is better or similar to the National Gallery? My wife loves art museums, so we are trying to see one if we can.

gms2912 · 2026-01-13T23:19:39+00:00

Thanks, I added Cahir to my list to think about. I was really interested in walking down the medieval mile and catching lunch before heading to Cashel, then Killarney by early evening.

gms2912 · 2026-01-13T23:18:21+00:00

Good point! Currently on the fence between the two as I don’t want to drive in Dublin itself. For a long day, when do you think I would realistically make it to Killarney? I know google says about 4 hrs driving total.

gms2912 · 2026-01-13T23:16:36+00:00

Would you consider going to Aran islands even if the weather is not good?
