My always obsession...

The light could be lovely in the hallway to our apartment in Lipnica.

An image in Polska (and the rest of the developed world, by and large) that really is gone:

Polish Fest 2026

Nowy Targ Hala

When we head back to Polska, I'm always curious about what has changed since the last time we were there. All my old hanuts -- Lipnica, Jablonka, Nowy Targ, Krakow -- have changed enormously over the last two decades, and there's almost almost nothing commercial that looks untouched. Yet there's one building on LudĊşmierska Street heading into Nowy Targ that looks the same every visit.

In fact, It looks just the same as the first time I saw it in 1996 -- along with the movie theater in Nowy Targ, it's the only thing I can say that about.

Every time we head back, I wonder if perhaps this visit it will be gone like the bus station in Nowy Targ.

But year after year, it's still there, looking no more neglected and dilapidated than it did the last time I saw it or indeed the first time.

Signs

A few signs that must date back to the 1990s or earlier.
