2002 Trip to Ukraine: DAYS ONE THROUGH EIGHT: "that used to be my playground" and other sentimental landscapes

back to Trip 2002 main

My $50 a day room at the Intourist Hotel in Zaporozhye.
View of Festivalnaya Ploshad from the 10nth floor of the Intourist Hotel.
Walking down Prospect Lenina from Intourist towards Univermag Ukraina. The sign for the Dovzhenko movie theatre is somewhat visible down the street on the left.
Prospect Lenina 171, where my grandparents lived for 30 something years.
Walking down from Univermag Ukraina towards Mayakovskogo.
Univermag Ukraina in all its beauty.
Another shot of the store for posterity.
View of Prospect Lenina. On the left used to be a flower market. Univermag Ukraina is on the right, but not visible.
Ploshad Mayakovskogo, across from the fountain.
The underground walkway at Stalevarov.
The beginning of "stometrovka", a walkway from Stalevarov towards Kritiy Rynok. Maksim owns two kiosks somewhere around here.
More shots of "stometrovka", where I used to walk to school every day.
Same.
Around the corner. My apartment building is on the left. Kritiy Rynok is on the right.
In the courtyard. The yellow balcony and a white window to the left of it on the top floor is where I lived for over 17 years.
The entrance to my apartment building.
A view of the courtyard away from the entrance.
To the right.
Away from the entrance and to the left.
