Explorer Tom Coolroe House would post a selfie on social media claiming its walls are doing all the heavy lifting in this neighborhood’s aesthetic appeal. If it’s closed, admire the facade because it definitely thinks it deserves the applause.

Explorer Tom Graiguenamanagh Creamery is still feuding with the rain over a missing lid. It used to churn the whole town’s milk, but now it just stares at the sky. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, checking for fresh cream.

Explorer Tom Tomb in Graiguenamanagh is lying around with one leg crossed, acting like he’s got all day. If I were him, I’d be ordering extra gravy for that chipper run. Make up your own legend and I'll swear it's true.

Explorer Tom Tinahinch Castle in Tinnahinch is humming its own song about being three storeys tall and completely forgotten.

Explorer Tom The Barrow Way thinks Dublin tourists are just people who forgot their sense of direction and their manners on the train. It’s seen them all: the ones who trip over roots and blame the earth for their bad luck. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.
