Wonderful weather forecast for Peace in the park :(


Recommended Posts

Peace in the park tomorrow in the Pondorosa park.

 

Its not "Pondorosa Park". Its "The Ponderosa". Park does not feature in its name.

 

It is called The Ponderosa, because some wag exclaimed, after the slum housing formerly on the site was cleared, "Why it looks like The Ponderosa", after the popular, at the time, TV series Bonanza. The tower bocks have the name of the streets that used to cross the area.

 

On a decent map, you'll see the area referred to as Port Mahon. A legacy of a British victory in the Napoleonic Wars.
