Tell me something about the place that you live in [I Live In Dublin, Ireland]

My area is relatively new, 20 years ago it was all green fields, at the centre of this there was a large house now called Ongar House, it was a mansion owned by the Aga Khan and his wife at that time Rita Hayworth. Today the surrounding area of houses, duplexes and apartments are named after her, Hayworth Road, Drive etc.

We have a lot of buildings with rounded corners here.

A big fire broke out last century and many firehoses ripped while they dragged them around the corners of buildings. Mainly because of this, they couldn't get the fire under control and most of the city center burned down. The rounded corners where introduced in the rebuilt to prevent that issue in the future.
