A new café has opened its doors on Ballincollig's main street, offering locals and visitors to the town good vibes and even better coffee in a welcoming, bright space. Owners of the new café named Blondie are Mark and Fiona O'Brien, salon directors of Mark Vincent Hair and Beauty on the main street. After 14 years of business in Ballincollig, the pair decided to expand their offering by opening the café in the same unit as their existing business. The original idea was to open a coffee shop, but the idea expanded, and the café now boasts a kitchen with highly qualified chefs who prepare everything on-site using the best of local produce. A day trade café open six days a week, there are already ideas swirling to create something special to cater for the town's night-time economy.

Marcia Resnick, Whose Camera Captured New York's ‘Bad Boys', Dies at 74
Marcia Resnick, a fine arts photographer who in the late 1970s pivoted from conceptual work to capture her febrile milieu, New York City's downtown demimonde, in a series of intimate portraits, mostly of men, including the last studio photos taken of John Belushi, died on Wednesday in Manhattan. She was 74. The cause of death, at a hospice facility, was lung cancer, her sister, Janice Hahn, said. New York City was lurching out of its fiscal crisis as Ms. Resnick began careening through Manhattan's after-hours spots, notably Max's Kansas City, CBGB and the Mudd Club. She was living the life, to be sure, but also scouting for subjects. Despite her madcap persona and punk-Lolita uniform — pleated schoolgirl skirts, thigh-high stockings and combat boots, beribboned pigtails and kohl-smudged eyes — she was deadly serious about her craft and her mission. Ms. Resnick was a skilled, CalArts-trained photographer determined to capture the scene that was swirling around her. She photographed Debbie Harry and Chris Stein of the band Blondie sprawled on their bed in their 58th Street penthouse, looking like children at a sleepover. She found the infamous lawyer Roy Cohn and Steve Rubell, the Studio 54 impresario, slumped on a sofa at the Mudd Club after sharing a quaalude; in her photo, Mr. Cohn radiates malevolence, while Mr. Rubell, his head resting on the other man's shoulder, looks joyful and beatific.
