re: #65 Dr Lizardo

There is the skeleton of a building here in Ostrava, close to downtown, that had been standing like that since the Revolution in 1989. It was supposed to be a new regional Communist Party HQ, but of course, history put the kibosh on that idea. Anyway, work has finally started on re-purposing the building, and in a couple of years or so, itโ€™s apparently going to be a new Technical University of Ostrava campus.

The new district here has grown so rapidly that the taxi drivers have to use GPS apps to find their way around. Eight years ago, that area was undeveloped land. I wish I had had the foresight of taking some pictures of that area when I first arrived, to do a before and after comparison.
