Grew up in Southill Limerick then took myself to California with $2 I’m my pocket . I was able to win the Mr. Ireland bodybuilding championships then went on to compete many times in the Mr. American. My poor upbringing thought me to climb as high as I can as I know what’s it like to be at th bottom . Over 39 yrs later I’m stlll in California . Fond memories of Limerick

Limerick in the good old days

I always thought that Limerick in some ways has a more 'urban' vibe (in the best sense) than my own hometown of Cork, even; and certainly more than Galway, which (I'm generalizing here, obviously) I've always found to be a little bit 'up itself'.

@andyx2506

Yes, Galway is up itself but not because of Galwegians, but because of Dublin people treating it as Dublin West.

Looking at the men's clothing in the shop windows, does anyone remember one such shop called Town Tailoring, I think it was on Cecil Street, it was a basement shop.

Those mans fashions and some of the womens are still quality garments in Limerick.

I also grew up in the slums of Limerick very oppressed I went to London got educated became a nurse got married and went to live in Japan Japan is my home in spite of a deprived oppressive upbringing I've had a great life my family live in Limerick I never hear from them and when I visit I'm not wanted there I have no desire to ever go back there 😢 For people who live in such small narrow thinking

Can anyone from this time tell me if there were many homeless/scumbags around the city at the time?

@@EveryTongueShallTell no, the term 'Stab City' was coined after a Libyan man was stabbed to death in a pub on Ellen street in 1978, even after that crime wasn't really on the rise in the city until the late 80's but somehow the term stuck.
