Photo Travel: Moscow's Oldest Tram Stop

Here is Moscow's oldest tram (or street car) stop pavilion somewhere in the north of Moscow.

It is now famous for being the oldest tram stop structure in Moscow - installed in its present cast-iron from in 1936 - although this tram stop has existed since 1890, that is, long before the reign of the current idiot mayor of Moscow mr. Sobianin.

The pavilion has a central section for waiting passengers and houses a coffee shop and a fruit and vegetable store.

More info on the history of the pavilion and its renovation (in Russian) is accessible via the links supplied.

Fruit and vegetable store in one wing.

Photo Travel: Autumn Walks: Arbat in October

Here is another of our photo-walks through the Arbat neighborhoods in the month of October 2021 in Moscow.

First, one has to have a bite to eat.

 

A late breakfast - early lunch - two salads - a salad called dressed herring or even literally "herring under a fur coat" and a "Japanese" salad with imitation crab plus a cup of coffee.

The place is Grechka Lab deli-cafe. The dressed herring was actually very good while the Japanese salad just reasonably good.

Yours truly aka "pieces of a person" and two salads and a cup of chai kofe.

The old sign was uncovered and restored on this building.

The sign of Bakery No. 20.

Some new statues nearby.

The two liberators.
