Because it’s on the Edge of the Shore?

“I worked in Ballycastle quite a bit, and I always enjoyed coming to work [here]. It’s a nice size library […] There’s a different mix of people in Ballycastle, perhaps because its on the edge of the shore. […] a lot of people had relatives all over the world and are more likely to go visit them and bring back a little bit of the outside world into Ballycastle […] [They] are inclined to make their own entertainment. They don’t rely on the Riverside Theatre […], they do their own mix of entertainments, which are very inventive and good variety.”
