Restorans (pectopah) (61/100)


This has always been one of your correspondent's favorite little sights in the neighborhood. The sign on the curvy corner of the building reads "restaurant" in Latvian, with the clear shadow of where it used to read "restaurant" in Russian. But then the whole building looks abandoned and there is no restorans or pectopah there at all. It's like a little cliff-notes version of recent Latvian history.

Interesting shot! The traces of Soviet time bilingualism here...
