I am still searching for this second picture with pedestrian areas, greenery and no cars 😉
Looks like Warsaw today. Just cars got better
Why dose this look better than modern day?
Mmm I can smell the petrol fumes from this picture
Did they Eastern Bloc have a lot of that? I spent early childhood in Croatia, which was then part of Yugoslavia, and there were certainly lots of cars. This included traffic jams and cars parked on sidewalks. But I thought that in countries that were actually under Soviet control it was harder to get cars. I’ve read about how it was hard to buy cars in the Soviet Union.
I’m surprised that you guys had so many cars back then. In the Soviet Union it was notoriously hard to own a car, so the vast majority of people used to just walk on foot or commute via public transport to where they needed to go.
Would have been great to add a picture of that same street now.
