New directions

So I was looking around at the articles on unnoticed things and cities and all of that whatnot.... And I found an article called "Dear Dirty Dublin": A City in Distress"

This article was written by Joseph V. O'Brien, and has him discussing the filth and disgusting parts of the city of Dublin, which he finds other people do not seem to really think about. I found it interesting in the way in which he seemed to both glamourise it, quoting proverbs such as "where there's muck, there's luck" and yet also condemn it.

 

Here is a link to it's review by Eugen Weber.
