Summary
Frank McDonald, the visionary behind Dublin’s Temple Bar and a master of urban wit, has passed — leaving a void felt deeply by those who knew his charm, blithe spirit, and uncanny ability to turn cityscapes into literary moments. Remembered for calling St. Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre a “Mississippi riverboat,” his sharp observations turned the mundane into unforgettable imagery, echoing Mark Twain and reshaping how we see the urban landscape. His legacy? Not just in the buildings he shaped, but in how he made us see the city — and laugh at it. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
