A small storage room.
In this area were also the toilets. A lot of stuff has been smashed inside, but they’ve given mercy to the mirror.
Another one of these tempting looking chairs.
Wonder, if that still works.
A sight, which I could have lived without. I am terrified of needles.
There were lots of them.
Moving behind the counter now. Imagine someone having stood here all day long selling coffee, sandwiches and ice cream.
And of course lottery tickets! Ässä tickets existed already in my childhood.
A local entrepreneur magazine. The blue box with logos on the right hand page actually is a list of web addresses to companies. The internet was such a new thing back then.
An old calculator. That was an important tool back then.
Onnensanat was another lottery ticket, which was actually launched sometime around year 2000, if I remember correctly. They didn’t sell them here for very long.
An era, when cigarettes and other tobacco products didn’t need to be hidden. These are all brands of cigarillos.
The first sign of euros is here.
The small magazine is from 2001, but the lager one behind is labeled 1/2002. Maybe there was life here after the euro after all.
A Christmas card from the national slot machine association.
A calendar. The dates match with the year 2002.
There was even a small kitchen, but I don’t think this place served a very wide variety of meals.
A gossip magazine about the husband of a former Miss Finland. This one is also from the late 1990’s.
The insulation looks like it’s gone through a lot.
The road and neighbours were close. We could be seen throughout our exploration, but luckily there was very little traffic.
The back side of the building. The upstairs is probably accessible through the door seen below the balcony door. It was, however, locked.
So in the end the upstairs remained a mystery.
But this wasn’t a bad start to this adventure.
