Now that UpStart’s posters have come down, you may feel the city’s streets are missing a little magic they once had.

Click the map to enlarge, or better still, clicky here to see Designing Dublin’s original PDF version (my JPEG upload probably isn’t the same quality).
The only thing I’d really hesitate to agree with is number 4: don’t try swimming in the Docklands, especially not the area the number is posted over. You will probably get Weir’s disease.
I am, however, looking forward to tracking down Isolde’s Tower, and the intriguing sounding aviary slash smoking area in the Clock Bar…
