A Private Assignment Part III

Even the third building of the weekend is familiar from earlier posts. It’s the business and apartment building featured in this gallery. A note stating, that there will be no electricity on June 6th. I doubt there has been any electricity in years. Another year has passed since I last visited. The detail plan isContinue reading “A Private Assignment Part III”

Business Took Me To A Friend Again Part III

The third location of our evening adventure was again a trip I had received from Tinder. My former date and current friend told me that there was an old market garden just next to her grandparent’s home. She gave the coordinates, and off we were again. And there it is. Opened in the late 1940’s,Continue reading “Business Took Me To A Friend Again Part III”

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”

That’s Not Where The Fuel Was Supposed To Be

Now this location here is something I’ve been longing to visit for a long time. As you can see, parts of it have been demolished. A petrol station last operated here some time around the early 2010’s. The building was already closed back then and there were just the pumps and the machines where youContinue reading “That’s Not Where The Fuel Was Supposed To Be”

Over The Hills And Far Away Part IV

Now I did promise you something very special. Here it is. Condoms, which have expired in 1997. They are on top of a destroyed TV set and some letters to the apparently last inhabitant of the apartment. Old chairs and a broken guitar. My mother always did tell me, that playing guitar will get meContinue reading “Over The Hills And Far Away Part IV”

Should I have A Beer Or A Haircut Part V

Welcome to the final part of the old mall. Here we have the back room of something. It was fairly large. And featured a promising amount of odd, wooden racks. Even a small office here. A long since defunct newspaper from 2013. They offered me a summer job once, but I had already gotten one.Continue reading “Should I have A Beer Or A Haircut Part V”

Should I have A Beer Or A Haircut Part IV

So the next space looks like this. The double doors are an interesting feature. There were also some office rooms. The double doors and the Postcheque badge on the door actually lead me to believe, that this has once been a post office. But it clearly wasn’t that back in 2011, when the first photosContinue reading “Should I have A Beer Or A Haircut Part IV”

Should I Have A Beer Or A Haircut Part III

I’ve lost count of how many stores or shops there are in this building. Just moving on to the next one now. What I do know from old Street View photos, this last was a kiosk of a nationwide chain. Again a very empty looking place. Old magazines. Maybe they will shed some light toContinue reading “Should I Have A Beer Or A Haircut Part III”

A Midsummer Date Part XVI

The midsummer continued. And so did my tour of old places I’ve found earlier but not yet accessed. This one here I found way back in 2020. After that I’ve manage to discover more about its history. The building was originally a co-operative store. Built in a functionalistic style in the late 1930’s, it wasContinue reading “A Midsummer Date Part XVI”

A Midsummer Date Part II

Another waste of Finnish architecture and building protection. Back when I was living in the area, the building was known after the nickname of a very notorius bar downstairs. It closed almost a decade ago. The building was protected, but the congregation owning it has been appealing for almost 10 years to be allowed toContinue reading “A Midsummer Date Part II”
