Oh, this store is waaaaay cool. Not only is it three-story, but the second floor is actual split-level all by itself. The metal staircase zig-zagging through the back portion of the store presents a very stylistic effect!

This store is small, but the picture window opens out onto the plaza and provides a sense of more space. This is also the first store I've encountered across from an adult cinema. Actual visit May 9.

Dang it, I noticed the stairs leading to a second floor but I was distracted by the free wi-fi and forgot to go up.

This store has a seating area inside the store itself, but also some seating across the hallway that is covered by the largest green umbrellas I have ever seen at a Starbucks.

This store, in a very pretty little seaside suburb of Dublin, celebrates the Malahide community with a poem by Pat Ingoldsby superimposed atop a photograph by another local.

This store offers a third store balcony from which you can look out over Dublin Bay. Inside, look for the b/w photos of Blackrock Township.

BT2 is not, as I first guessed, British Telecom, but rather a small department store.

This store, the busiest in Ireland, has several appealing features. Most prominent is a wooden bookshelf towards the front. Towards the back is a small room-like area that is very cozy. And in several locations are pieces of local artwork. I have seen local artwork at many stores in the US, but not so many overseas.

Though otherwise just like a mall store in the U.S., this location has a sectioned off seating-area right outside the front doors. I can't say I've ever seen that at any of the U.S. stores.
