SaratovMapSeptember 7-8, 2014 I enjoy visiting Saratov!  They haven’t ruined all the former beauty here yet.  Though not for lack of trying.  You can still find cast iron merchants’ porches here.  Seduction Lingerie; Saratov Tour Service And balconies, equally merchants’ and cast iron.  An excellent example of multiple cultural layers: a pre-revolutionary base, a communist-era incongruous attic floor and typography, and a scrolling neon sign and plastic windows.  Of all the arts, the most important for us is CINEMA Speaking of Lenin, here in Saratov he’s pointing his index finger like gangsters point their guns.  Speaking of multiple cultural layers, there’s an excellent specimen of a madman’s diaries on one of the local houses.  Contemporary ideas of beauty are reflected in the design of the benches along the main pedestrian street.  New trash cans are slowly encroaching on the city.  They’re about as lovely as the new architecture.  In short, let’s wait for the bus and get out of here until next time.  |
