Pauric Tighe, originally from Virginia in Co Cavan, has worked in Downey’s Bar in Cabra since his father took it over back in 2002.

Walking into the local, you’ll see a collage of photos of loyal customers, framed pictures of the Downey’s crowd with an Irish flag at Italia 90, cheques of donations they raised for Temple Street Children’s Hospital, and an Elvis Presley flag.

‘We’re the last of the Mohicans, it’s becoming harder,’ says Cabra pub owner trying to keep pints at Cavan prices

You’ll also find a Guinness Six Nations flag with a €5 sign stuck to it, letting people know that Downey’s is one of the few pubs in the capital that still sells it at that price.

But as Diageo continues to raise the price of their alcohol, it’s becoming more and more difficult to keep the pint at a reasonable price.

“We’re the last of the Mohicans, it’s becoming harder,” Mr Tighe told the Irish Independent.

“It’s good to be competitive, but we’re unique, this pub can’t be replicated anywhere else. It’s mostly due to the people who come in here, not us. They’re what make Downey’s, Downey’s.

“We’ve photographs of the customers and memorial cards of our past customers behind the bar. If these types of pubs close, they’ll only be replaced by Starbucks or some sort of coffee shop. This pub is unique to this area.

“We’re trying to get people to come out, not sit and drink at home. We’re saying we’re €5 a pint, why not give us a go one night a week, that’s our offering to people.

“Our customers are locals here in Cabra East. They’re all over the walls. This is a local Cabra pub, having decent prices encourages people to come out.

“That’s what we want, there’s no point in having an expensive drink and an empty…

David Beckham‘s iconic mohican haircut was inspired by the legendary Travis singer Fran Healy.

The professional footballer, 48, turned heads when he opted for the bold and daring look in 2001 and revealed it to the world during The World Cup.

While people may think he was the ultimate trendsetter at the time, the singer, 50, has proven he is not.

Speaking to hosts Gordon Smart and Martin Compston on the Restless Natives podcast about his new album L.A. Times, which releases July 12, he revealed he was the man behind the infamous hairdo.

He said: ‘I asked the guy who’s always cut my hair, Pete, down here at cuts and he is responsible for the fin, he was responsible for the, sort of, blondie one.

Lake George Churches will continue their annual tradition of Walking the Way of the Cross along the Village streets on Good Friday and celebrating Easter with a sunrise service on the lake shore.

The Walking of the Way of the Cross will begin at noon on Friday, March 29. The observance will start at Sacred Heart Catholic Church on Mohican Street and travel to St. James Episcopal Church on Montcalm Street. The procession will continue to Lake George Community Methodist Church and end at Caldwell Presbyterian Church, both also on Montcalm Street.

Retracing Jesus’ final footsteps is a Christian tradition that dates back to the 4th Century when pilgrims would travel to the Holy Land to walk the original Way of the Cross. The path is marked with 14 stations beginning with Pontius Pilate’s Court condemning Jesus to death and ending with Jesus being laid in his tomb. During the season of Lent, Christians worldwide celebrate the Stations of the Cross each Friday.

The sun rises over Lake George.

On Easter Sunday, the four Lake George Churches will celebrate the Resurrection with an ecumenical Easter Sunrise Service on MacDonald Pier in Shepard Park. The service will begin at 6:30 a.m. A free continental breakfast at Caldwell Presbyterian Church will follow the Easter Sunrise Service.

MOUNT VERNON — Local officials are working to make a connector trail between the Kokosing Gap and Mohican Valley trails a reality.

Representatives of Danville, the Knox County Park District, the Knox Community Foundation, the Area Development Foundation, and the Kokosing Gap Trail Board met with the county commissioners on March 14 to review preliminary plans.

The KGT ends at Richards Street in Danville, and the MVT begins at East Street. Connecting the two is one initiative in the village’s strategic plan.

“Typically, trails would follow the railroad bed, but Danville Feed and Supply has a building on the railroad bed,” explained Sam Filkins, ADF vice president.

“We looked at using an existing bridge on the state route, but it wasn’t wide enough to do a bike trail, and we would have to build a new bridge. That would cost too much.”

Lisa Loyd of the KCF added, “We think the easiest way is to build a bridge over the creek behind the feed mill in Danville.”

Plans call for cyclists to come off of the KGT, head north on Richards Street to Tilton Street, and then east to South Market Street.

Cyclists will cross South Market onto village-owned land, skirt the perimeter of what will become Thomas Wayne Cottrell Jr. Memorial Park, cross the new bridge, and access the Mohican Valley Trail.

The connector trail will be a raised boardwalk over the wetlands areas.

The crosswalk on South Market will include warning lights and roadway striping.

Connector trail brings commerce

Filkins said Danville is one of the few villages that import workers. More than 32 percent of them are in retail and food services.

“They would benefit from tourism and commerce,” he said. “The reality is we’re not able to build a large industrial place in Danville,…

ASHEVILLE, N.C. (WLOS) — The Oscars honor those who bring our favorite stories to life on the big screen. You know the actors, but what about the thousands behind the scenes who make movie magic happen?

Two such people with resumes that could fill a textbook got their start at home in the mountains of Western North Carolina.

“My mom called me and said that they had placed a classified ad for hairdressers for a movie that was coming to Asheville,” Deborah Ball, a Haywood County native, said.

Ball and her friend, Gail Hensley, spent a career working in salons before the production of “The Last of the Mohicans” came to their doorstep.

GET A PEEK AT OSCAR GLORY: ASHEVILLE CINEMA TO SHOWCASE NOMINATED SHORTS

“The salon, with contemporary work, can become boring for an artist,” Ball said. “I found the challenge in film work. Not only in the research, but also in the construction of these pieces.”

A three-decade journey of hair and wig work began for Ball and Hensley on the set of the Daniel-Day Lewis-led, Oscar-winning movie.

“(An) unbelievable opportunity crossed our way,” Hensley, a West Asheville native, said.

Winning a Golden Globe on the TV show “Homeland” and a career of opportunity working on films like “Titanic,” “The Patriot,” “The Help”, and “Lincoln” involves quite a lot of research.

“You have to start thinking about, ‘Well, how did they manage their hair back then?'” Ball asked.

Research which took two months to thumb through in their latest film, Oscar-nominated “Killers of the Flower Moon.”

“We had traditional Osage, the men and the women, and the men wore the two braids, and the ladies had the one braid,” Hensley said. “Then we would have to transition them into the 1920s as they progressed in the time period when they became wealthy Osage.”

Hensley, who…

Ohio’s Amish County is a popular spot for exploring markets, restaurants (like Boyd & Wurthmann!), and shops, and if you’re visiting the area, you need a solid home base. Enter Amish Country Lodging and their treehouses in Berlin, Ohio! Amish Country Lodging offers a variety of lodges, cottages, and treehouses throughout the region, and they invited us to stay in one of the Skyview Treehouses.

The Skyview Treehouse is a two-story treehouse with a crows nest. It sleeps six, with a pair of king beds and a couple twin beds. It features some nice outdoor spaces and a hot tub. Like the other Skyview Treehouses, it sits on an elevated piece of their property, so it offers some pretty nice views.

One king bed is located on the main floor.

While the other king bed sits on the second floor.

There’s a cute pair of twin beds tucked into little alcoves on the second floor.

And if you climb up the steep stairs between them (and duck your head), you’ll reach the crow’s nest!

The small windowed room includes a handful of seats. It’s a lovely spot with nice views, perfect for some reading or a quiet cup of coffee.
