Nice article. My family has only lived in the same spot for 155 years, and has been renting out the fields for 50 or so.

SLIGO is quiet and beautiful, and so is the drive along the coast. Coney Island is just off the coast. We were in COUNTY SLIGO in Ireland last July and visited the gravesite of William Butler Yeats.
