A "Chippie" on the Old Block

Jacob Street is an old street in Kilkenny. After walking just one block down this street I came across Tom and Chippie Mullins' place. Are they any relation to me? Who knows for sure? One thing is for certain, though. Tom bears striking resemblance to many of my dad's own siblings. His physical features... his personality and temperament... even his generosity (He and Chippie gave me a free meal and a Coke while I visited with them in their shop during my three-and-a-half hour stop in their shop!).
