Once again our family trees mirror one another (cf. previous discussions of Colbert/Newfoundland). I have Mahoneys (with an e) in mine as well. My maternal great, great grandmother (on my maternal grandfather's side) was a Mahony, no "e". I can reliably take that Mahony branch of the tree back to about 1800, and the Mahony's lived generally in the area of Ringrone, Courceys barony, near the Old Head of Kinsale, County Cork. None of the Mahony's went to Newfoundland. For the most part, the families were tenant famers. My maternal grandmother's side went from County Wexford to Newfoundland, and then to the U.S, That's the side with the Colberts. Courcey, in the peerage, is the first baron of Ireland. Unbeknownst to the family in/from County Cork, my maternal grandmother was descended from Richard de Neville, whose progeny created the House of Neville which held great power in England for over 300 years. (A large twig off that tree was given a barony in Wexford around 1170, by King Henry II. The barony was forfeited by attainder in the reign of henry VIII.. Richard de Neville's older brother was Robert de Courcy, the progenitor of the Irish Courceys. The ruins of the family's fortress castle (chateau-forte) can still be found in the commune of Courcy-sur-Dives in the Calvados region of Normandy. , I know far less detail about my family tree than you (although I hope to remedy that in my retirement) but I expect it to be bereft of barons, chateaus, and any kind of political power.

Visited Kinsale many times (maternal grandparents from Leap and Skibbereen). If you would like a few suggestions, pm me. My wife's sister's husband, a '63 HC grad, was chair of the Social Sciences Dept. at Edinburgh University for many years. I ran the Dublin Marathon in 1997 and was able to take a side trip to Kinsale; it seemed very nice. On the drive there we stopped at a well-known pub in the middle of nowhere named (IIRC) Johnny Fox's. When I told our waitress I was from the Boston area she said something like: "My cousin Liam lives in Dorchester, and my nephew Dermot's wife just gave birth to twins at St. Elizabeth's in Brighton." BTW, I'm also probating an estate in MA and have been dealing with an heir who lives in Skibbereen.

When my Mom was very young, she and her family lived in an apartment building across the street and owned by St. John's Church in Worcester. She told me that virtually every resident was a recent immigrant from Skibbereen. Skib was ground zero for the Great Hunger. Give a listen to Sinead O'Connor's "Skibbereen" P.S. Cool that you ran marathon in Dublin. My Irish cousin took me to Johnny Fox's which is high on a hill on the outskirts of Dublin.

^^^ 97 College ^^^ 99 College ^^^ 97-99 Kendig ^^^ 119 Kendig (Reported in the T&G, not confirmed by record of a deed transfer.) The College now owns all but four parcels on the north side of Kendig between College St. and the new vehicle gate at the east end of Kendig at the road that runs by the rink. 101 bought at foreclosure in 2007, owner-occupied 105 owner-occupied, purchase pre-1980 125 absentee landlord, purchase circa 2003, moved circa 2012 129 owner occupied; parcel address 129B now owned by the College had a different owner The Jesuit residence is being built on parcels 129B, 131, and 133. ^^^ 28 Boyden, bought by Madison Kendig in January 2023, coincident with HC buying 99 and 119 Kendig. 28 Boyden is across from 29 Boyden, which HC undoubtedly covets, as it is continguous in the rear with HC property on College St. This is held in trust for a woman who had been married for 49 years at the time of his death in 2004. ^^^ 15 Clay. Bought by Madison Kendig in January 2023. At corner of Clay and Boyden.

This may be the thread with the longest duration in Crossports history. Coming up on 7 years since the first post.

Any chance we could get a quick summary by some logical grouping of land? For example, we own all but X lots in the area bordered by City View, Dutton and College St. to the immediate West of the parking in front of the Luth.

Any chance we could get a quick summary by some logical grouping of land? For example, we own all but X lots in the area bordered by City View, Dutton and College St. to the immediate West of the parking in front of the Luth. Purple dots mark HC owned property on City View, Kendig, Avon, and upper College St. The properties are being acquired to assemble large squares of contiguous land. This is perhaps more evident on lower College , Clay, Boyden, Caro. It appears the College is reluctant to build where there are owner-occupied homes directly abutting the building site, and it and Madison Kendig appear to be creating noise buffers by buying property such as 28 Boyden, which is across the street from a future HC development that would encompass the polygon bordered by College, Boyden, and Clay. That may explain why a new residence hall will be built near Figge, rather than on the south side of City View. The single property not owned by HC on the north side of City View has an absentee owner, and is probably rented out to students. The single property at the end of the south side of City View is owner occupied, an elderly couple. The Jesuits will be quiet neighbors.

Does HC rent out all these houses it owns?

Thanks, Phreek. Now can you pick up the phone real quick and get us a new hoops coach?

Does HC rent out all these houses it owns? Re: the most recent houses on College that it bought, 97 and 99 College, HC told the local business paper that it would use these for 'transitional faculty housing'. If you go up-post and look at the photo of 99 College, it might be suitable as a student crash pad, but looks pretty substandard for faculty. If HC invests $$$$ in renovation, then I will say it is unlikely to be demolished in the next 10-15 years, with something else constructed on the site. Building permits this summer may off er a clue. This is most of the College, Clay, Boynton polygon. HC-owned in purple. Red dot marks 15 Clay, bought by Madison Kendig Holdings about two months ago. Four parcels on College not owned by HC are absentee owner, and the three with houses (# 50, 56, 64-66) are undoubtedly rented to HC students HC may rent the houses it does own on the west side of College to faculty / staff, or students.

Caro St. Purple dots and scrawly streaks denote HC-owned property. All the non-HC owned properties on Caro St. are absentee landlord. The three houses on and proximate to the yellow outlined parcel are owned by a HC graduate (21, 23, 25). The same owner also owns #28, the first house on the north side of Caro next to vacant HC-owned land. HC seems to have slowed its acquisitive behavior on Caro St., for some years now.

Is the HoJo's lot big enough for a hockey arena?

Is the HoJo's lot big enough for a hockey arena? The HoJo lot and the the abutting Caro St. lots are big enough. However, the Commonwealth wants to reconfigure the College Square interchange, and some of the HoJo's lot could be sacrificed if that were to happen.

That whole intersection is a mess and dangerous.
