Pretty alright, went through my childhood neighborhood before work, had an hour to kill :tongue:. It does not look the same at all, now it just like a mental hospital garden. I find it funny that most of the million project areas (Expandment and renewal) has turned into gutters, Nyfors has always been a gutter but looking pictures of old Nyfors (60-100 years ago) it was pretty, now after the re-renewal (Rebuilding what they build 40-50 years ago) it just looks weird. I miss the old tower
It looked freaky but it belong there.

So many memories, good ones and bad. Got a bit nostalgic walking there, remembered when I was a kid and used to throw snowballs at the cars going over the bridge and just fooling around, but also when getting dragged into an alley getting punched senseless from those i considered "Friends". The little Arab deli still runs that I used to buy strange candy from when I was little. Still the strange smells lingers around in Nyfors, a weird mix of Arabic, Asian and Somalian sents,spices, herbs, perfume, something unknown and identifying. Was pretty pleased to see that they actually sold the cheapest Cherry coke in town, direct imported from the Us. Its pretty rare with Us imported cherry coke, as it taste different in Sweden as it contains substances that is not legal to produce and so has to change it for our market, not sure if its like that for all of EU although

Sometimes you need a bit of chaos in your life to be able to shrug off pitiful disdain about something meaningless.
