ICaredAboutWhatYouThought


Cork. You may be lucky enough to live there (0.0019917% of us are). You may also be unlucky enough to live here (0.0019917% of us are).

You may also be lucky enough to have the use of your eyes. You may even have been lucky enough to have been outside and about. Ever. In Cork. On the pavement-roady bits (or streets) that run in between the edifices and cloth-curtained windows and places of religious/commercial worship. Used and abused and disused and loved and ignored. Discarded some. Inhabited most. Connected by the byways.

Most roads run in the normal ways; one ways and pedestrian ways and main ways (we have at least three). They are controlled and kept and safe.

Streets are not like this. They are hemmed in by the places we live and the places we go.


Streets are where the interactions happen.
