Riverstown, Co. Sligo

A small town (and it knows it) a few miles outside Sligo on the Dublin road. The kind of town where little happens and locals can smell an outsider approaching. Hatches are closed, music stops playing, children are rushed in from playing in the streets. A local nods at the outsider in a way that makes him almost say “Who be you and what aru doing in me town?” A couple, on Flickr

    Hey I lived just outside Riverstown for several years in a place called Roughan, Sooey. Although you’re correct about locals smelling outsiders, they aren’t all that bad - so long as you aren’t English and you don’t decide to settle in the Emerald Isle!! Then you become the devils familiar and your children are the devils spawn ( Riverstown kids can do no wrong , ever seen ‘children of the corn….’
