Ruling the World

It's always interesting to find new graffiti on our street.

"Media Rules the World."

I wonder if the babushka begging for change on the stairs of the metro agrees.



From an economic standpoint, new construction in Novosibirsk continues to rule the day. Out with the old, in with the new.

The 100-year old brick building near Central Park is dwarfed by a new apartment complex.

I found crews excavating just a block from our apartment for what appears to be the first sky scraper of its kind in Novosibirsk, a 30-story glass building with underground parking for 285 cars.





I doubt the old public banya just across the street from this new business center will last much longer in this continuously changing city.
