On The Streets Where You Live

Rated 1 to 100 for looks

rom the start, it felt like a silly idea, trying to capture 100 Greystonians over 100 days, and getting each of them to risk life and limb in the process.

By standing out on the street where they lived.

Given that Greystones has more than its fair share of colourful characters though, that initial idea just grew and grew, as we spotted one more local beauty after another.

Making the odd exception to the rule, of course, for the likes of the notorious Farrelly brothers.

Starting on Thursday, July 25th, with the bould Josie, we finally hit that 100 mark on Friday, November 1st, with the even boulder Dustin forgetting to look left and right before that turkey crossed the road. But hey, our loss is comedy’s gain. 

Some might find the idea of stopping the traffic for the town’s rock’n’roll legends a little nutty, but the sheer silliness – and middling danger – of the exercise tended to bring out a giggle in just about everyone.

Which is why we reckon a beautiful new GG series has been born – the plan being to capture more of the towns lovers & dreamers, and louses & schemers, twice a year, starting in February and July.
