Dublin’s ‘pop-up’ inner-city park opens its gates

The temporary park at Dominick Street Lower was envisioned by the Upstart collaborative group and financed in part through on online Fundit campaign.

THE NEW ‘POP-up park’ beside Dublin’s Dominick Street Lower opened to the public on August 22nd to add some extra nature to the north inner city.

TheJournal.ie gave a sneak peak of what was inside and talked to some of those behind the project. But now that Granby Park is open until 22 September there is even more opportunity to see how the former vacant site has been transformed into a creative space for art and music.

94 Seconds (iOS/Android) review

94 Seconds is a simple word game in which players are given 94 seconds to give as many answers as possible to a series of questions. The questions all take the form of a simple category description and a letter with which the player must start their answer. Answers must be typed in manually using the device’s keyboard — on iOS, this supports autocorrect to help with spelling, on Android it will depend on what keyboard software the device is running — and entered as quickly as possible. The player is continuously bombarded with new questions until the time limit expires, at which point their performance is evaluated.

“‘Have you had dealings with demons, little girl? Walked with warlocks, talked with the Night Children? Have you -‘

Clary interrupted. ‘… I have no idea what you’re talking about. I don’t believe in – in demons, or whatever you -‘”
