Google Maps offer a glimpse into the past of Cork, but to really dive into the past try Yahoo Maps.
That building in the marked circle is the old An Post Sorting Office on Eglinton Street. It was demolished at least 2 years ago, and was probably gone long before then. Does anyone remember when? It’s now the building site of the Elysian. Google’s map shows the cleared building site from 2 years ago. Boy, am I glad I took that photo now!

Are you sure those buildings are really gone? Or maybe you’re just imagining it. Google won’t make a mistake now, would it?
