The Ace Mace is Here a Year

photoA quick post to say Happy Birthday, Howdy Neighbour! and How-Did-We-Ever-Live-Without-You? to our wonderful friends next door in the Titanic Quarter Mace.  It’s exactly one year ago today that they opened their doors and Dock Life (and Titanic Quarter life) changed forever.

photo1Things move so fast in the Titanic Quarter that we nearly missed this significant anniversary… Over coffee this afternoon,
Me: It must be nearly a year you’ve been open now?
Andy: Yeah, it’s next week sometime.  18th April.
Me: Isn’t 18th April…umm… today?
Andy:  Oh yeah!

So, in the nick of time, to our excellent neighbours:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
