A meat guide to using different parts of pork in different recipes. There has been a meat counter in this tiny store back in the days. A view towards the loading dock. Shelves inside the dairy product counter. The price tag of a 2004 Fiat Ducato. More spaces behind the area meant for customers. There’sContinue reading “Driving A Lot But Getting Nowhere Part V”

Driving A Lot But Getting Nowhere Part IV
The final location of the day was this beautiful, functionalistic old co-operative store designed by architect Erkki Huttunen. I had already discovered it the previous autumn, but back then there was no way in. As you can see, there now is a gap between the fence and the broken window. But let’s first see whatContinue reading “Driving A Lot But Getting Nowhere Part IV”
Driving A Lot But Getting Nowhere Part II
We only managed to visit one location that night. We planned on waking up early and trekking through a forest to a particularly interesting place with an angry neighbour, but as we slept pretty late and it was raining, we decided to go somewhere else instead. After having breakfast we headed to a nearby townContinue reading “Driving A Lot But Getting Nowhere Part II”
Driving A Lot But Getting Nowhere Part I
As May was heading towards warmer nights, we decided to go on a weekend tour with one of my friends, whom I had met during my years at the university. We hadn’t seen eachother in ages until we decided to have a weekend roadtrip back in 2022. Back then we successfully explored this sawmill workers’Continue reading “Driving A Lot But Getting Nowhere Part I”
Chasing News Part IV
The final location of the day was already old news. It was the seaside villa, which I had visited and tried to enter for the first time back in 2021. I hadn’t been lucky so far. The garden behind the house was as it used to be. There was still a path running through it.Continue reading “Chasing News Part IV”
Chasing News Part III
Moving on to the next location, which is a kind of funny one: it is only half abandoned. This here is a former bank. It was built in 1966 and even robbed in 1990. I have no idea when it closed. The building consists of this wing, which is the former bank, and an apartmentContinue reading “Chasing News Part III”
Chasing News Part II
The following location, again familiar from the news. This here is the former main building of a farm built in 1932. It was last rented out to a group of artists until a very familiar story happened. The city bought the building, evicted the tenants and decided to demolish it. Local activists made initiatives toContinue reading “Chasing News Part II”
Chasing News Part I
It was that time of the year again. I had read news of city planning all winter, and was ready to go and see some locations, which were destined for demolition and replacement with larger, modern and more efficient buildings. This is an old one family house from 1930. According to the detail plan documents,Continue reading “Chasing News Part I”
Died At 35 Years Young Part II
Continuing the journey in trying to find an entrance to the school. At this point I was no longer very hopeful. More bike shelters here. And another abandoned building. This here is a former daycare center probably built and abandoned at the same time as the school. It also seemed tightly shut. I wasn’t hopeful,Continue reading “Died At 35 Years Young Part II”
Died At 35 Years Young Part I
Reading the newspapers is a great way of finding abandoned buildings. This time it was the traditional news: an abandoned school building has been badly vandalized. This time the building wasn’t even that old. It was built in 1985 and abandoned in 2020 because of air quality problems. Its use lasted just 35 years. TheContinue reading “Died At 35 Years Young Part I”
