Oh great! That was awesome. It really gives a feel for the city.

Is your car a Lada?
I like the fachwerk houses!
What were people thinking in the 60s? We also have these gruesome buildings smack in the middle of the old town.
That mall church looks like a 19th century factory with a spire. :-)
St Petri has a really unusual front with the stepped gable.
Oh, I like the radhuset. Very ornamental and impressive.
I notice a pronounced interest in apartments and their qualities and prices. Are you looking for something else by any chance? :-)
All those playgrounds are great in a city.

Wonderful! There are some *beautiful* buildings there.

Awesome! I love the sign for the rabbits. I will have to do this soon (Milwaukee, WI, USA). Here are a few pictures to whet your appetite:

Yep, mine is the 1985 Lada Niva. :) It didn't cost much! hehe.

That Gentlemans club is a 100 year old thing, I reckon it's the illuminati. ;) The fachwerk houses are great, sadly Malmö has what I call "bombing envy" and they tore down a lot of the center to modernize, which everyone is still complaining about. To be fair, the buildings that are gone weren't high quality dwellings by any means.

I do love to check out apartments for sale, I read the prices and check the ads, just so that I can get an idea of what my own place should be valued (we do have the awesome yard which is a plus). Lets look inside some of the buildings I've shown for the heck of it:

Here's the tre kronor building, nice, right? Here's the yellow brick funkis-building with the great yard. And this is a pretty good example of what an apartment around Davidshall looks like.

Haha, bombardment envy. That's a great line.
I guess one has to know cities have been bombarded in the war like Köln or London or Rotterdam to get the joke.

Is that Lada ironic? Have I found a european hipster?

I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of Milwaukee derjardins.

It all looks so clean and well maintained. Wait, I see some tagging in this pic.

I love Rotterdam for its buildings, you can walk through and see quirky buildings from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s in just a few blocks. It's fun.

Lada isn't ironic, though it could be. I actually think it's cute, and I'm broke. So there ya go.

Yeah, Milwaukee next!

It's not all this clean, when people tag our building we'll wash it off within days. Some building owners don't care as much, but us folks in the SJ buildings are total snobs who want to care for our 100 year old block. ;) Oh, and we have legal tagging walls here, which does help in keeping the city walls clean. The parking lot buildings have dedicated walls for graffitti. We didn't walk past them, but that can be pretty cool looking. A young lady once used that wall to make an ad that she wanted a job, which was rather cute.

That was fun thanks!

I can't believe how big Perle is! And I'm so jealous of having a place with history to live in. Abbotsford has a small downtown area 6/8 small square blocks or so that were built in the early 1900s - not nearly as fun.

Do Abbotsford anyway! We wanna see!

Hear hear! I heartily concur with my fellow european. We made a lot of pictures of old shit and bikes because that's all we have here.
But all the ways in which a place in canada is different would be of interest to me. F.i. how extensive everything is I imagine. And how everything is done by car... Stuff like that. :-)

Abbotsford!
Abbotsford!
Abbotsford!

Love the pictures, love the architecture. I've never been to Europe, but I'd really like to go to Sweden sometime to check out how my distant relatives live.

But you just can't take a picture and cheerfully mention that you "call this one the 'penis house' because of the weird ornaments" without showing 'em!

Hahaha. It's very hard to get a good photo of it, people have tried, the ornamental flowers on the yellow stripe up in the top of this photo, really look like wee penises.

The Swedish name is so cute! "Pittahuset," tee hee.
