Like I’ve said several times, my summers nowadays are travelling to locations I’ve already found and trying to see if they would be open. And such is the story of this old village store in a suburb of a regional center. Nope. Still not open. But I really like the light in this photo. AndContinue reading “The Store Remains Closed”

I Missed Fine Dining, I Missed Cheap Beer Part V
Before moving downstairs, here’s one final look at the former restaurant from this direction. So now let’s move down the stairs. The stairs lead right to another entrance. I’m not really sure, if the two floors of bars were of the same company, but I believe so. So here’s the downstairs, which was extremely difficultContinue reading “I Missed Fine Dining, I Missed Cheap Beer Part V”
I Missed Fine Dining, I Missed Cheap Beer Part IV
So, we are back on the second floor of the bar, which is the old restaurant. This area of the building was perhaps in the worst condition. It actually looks like there is no floor, and that is just gravel. There was a separate room with tiled walls here. This must have been the originalContinue reading “I Missed Fine Dining, I Missed Cheap Beer Part IV”
I Missed Fine Dining, I Missed Cheap Beer Part III
The story was pretty much familiar already along the corridor. Dark and thrashed apartments. And open windows too close to the neighboring house. Same view, different settings. Again a lovely chair. I’ve seen so many in abandoned buildings, that I could decorate a mansion with them. The rest of the furniture wasn’t equally impressive. ThereContinue reading “I Missed Fine Dining, I Missed Cheap Beer Part III”
I Missed Fine Dining, I Missed Cheap Beer Part II
And here we go. Basically the apartments were a dark mess. The sign to one of them says private event. Maybe a part of them were offices. Again I was a bit too visible for comfort. This was a fairly strange thing. The ad has been addressed to an inhabitant to this building, but theContinue reading “I Missed Fine Dining, I Missed Cheap Beer Part II”
I Missed Fine Dining, I Missed Cheap Beer Part I
Welcome to an overgrown backyard. Faithful followers have been here before, way back in 2020, when I first found this place. The history of the building has been featured there in more detail, now I’m just content with telling you, that this is the former headquarters of a workers’ co-operative. Originally there was a storeContinue reading “I Missed Fine Dining, I Missed Cheap Beer Part I”
From Serving Customers To Permanent Customers Part III
A look at the kitchen shelf reveals a collection of canned everything. A text commemorationg the 40th anniversary of the inhabitants moving from one place to the current location. I believe, that they have made this after the abandonment of the building. Otherwise this makes no sense. Names and location info have been removed. AnotherContinue reading “From Serving Customers To Permanent Customers Part III”
From Serving Customers To Permanent Customers Part II
This post begins with a lovely vintage chair. I’d really like to have one of those, just black. In the corner we have a small dining table with election ads. Whoever lived here, loved harmonicas. Eggs, porridge flakes and more sausage. A very basic breakfast. An ad magazine from 2009. This is the first suggestionContinue reading “From Serving Customers To Permanent Customers Part II”
To Go Or No Go?
As I was moving deeper and deeper into rural and sparsely populated areas, I encountered more and more buildings, which looked like they possibly could be abandoned. But were they? A traditional old village store, where the store is in one end of the building and the store owners have lived in the other end.Continue reading “To Go Or No Go?”
The Beauty Stands Alone Now
Welcome to yet another earlier featured location. The assignment today is to spot the difference compared to the previous visit. You are absolutely right. The 1960’s wing of the store has been demolished. The cliffhanger I presented at the end of the previous post from here stated, that the municipality wanted to demolish the wholeContinue reading “The Beauty Stands Alone Now”
