Welcome yet to another familiar location. This here is the co-operative store featured earlier in 2020. Maybe this view is more familiar. How can there be trees growing on the balcony? The building seen from the other side. And the back of the building. There’s been another building attached to this part of it, justContinue reading “At Least The Soil Is On Sale”

The Train Still Doesn’t Stop, But At Least I am inside
So yet another one of the closed railroad stations, which I’ve featured during the previous days. There’s even a train of the latest model of Finnish locomotives passing at this very moment. Like the previous ones, this building was completed in 1886. Passenger traffic ended in 1990, much later than at the others. And indeedContinue reading “The Train Still Doesn’t Stop, But At Least I am inside”
The Margarine Scandal
Back in the 1960’s there was a big scandal in Finland. It was revealed, that several companies produced margarine using grease coming from where it wasn’t supposed to come from. It came from offal and sometimes even slaughtered cats. The case is known as the Margarine Scandal. The grease was produced in several factories aroundContinue reading “The Margarine Scandal”
Caught In Crossfire Part IV
That would be the way down, but we’re not going there just yet. Practising the letter F. The blinds are shut. Another dark room with a maze. The ceiling in this room was higher and the windows were different. I suspect, that this has been the assembly hall of the school before the gym wasContinue reading “Caught In Crossfire Part IV”
Caught In Crossfire Part III
A fireplace up front and a toilet to the left. This has definitely been an apartment back in the days when teachers still lived in schools. Since then it has been something else. Those look like clothes dryers. “Wash hands when you come in the morning”. That’s pretty good advice for schoolkids All kinds ofContinue reading “Caught In Crossfire Part III”
Caught In Crossfire Part II
The corridor between the old and new wings was fairly primitive. You can’t call the new part beautiful from the insides either, but the use of natural light was nice. Even the toilet has been a shooting range. This looks like the school library. It looks as small and cozy as the entire school. They’veContinue reading “Caught In Crossfire Part II”
Caught In Crossfire Part I
Back at yet another familiar location. This old elementary school for Swedish speaking kids had stood empty since 2014 waiting for demolition and replacement with a kindergarten. I’ve been looking for a way in twice in 2011 and once in 2022. This is already my fourth attempt. For some strange reason there was a carContinue reading “Caught In Crossfire Part I”
Still Trainless
The chase for an open railway station continues. Today’s edition has already been featured back in 2022. It seems, that it has been built along the same drawings as the previous one, but has not been enlarged. The station infrastructure is also gone. There’s just the building left. This building is in way better conditionContinue reading “Still Trainless”
The Train Still Wouldn’t Stop
Yet another railway station along the same track as the others. Opened in the 1880’s along with the others, passenger traffic ended in 1983 and the station was entirely closed in 1988. Unlike the others, which still seem to be in a sensible condition, this one is starting to be fairly rotten. No luck hereContinue reading “The Train Still Wouldn’t Stop”
The Crime Scene Has Been Cleared
And on we go to yet another already familiar location. This here is the former railroaders’ apartment house, which was featured for the first time in 2021. Back then there was quite a surprise on the porch. The building’s status seems pretty unchanged. The doors to the porch were open as they were the previousContinue reading “The Crime Scene Has Been Cleared”
