The Evening Kirov

in Wednesday Walk10 days ago

This is a post to go with #WednesdayWalk challenge by @tattoodjay.

In provincial towns, people go to bed early. Well, or they just sit in their apartments and no longer go outside. Half a million people live in Kirov, but after 22:00, it is rare to see passers-by on the streets, even in the city center. But there are still vacationers in the circus area near the ponds in the summer. So I happened to be here this evening and saw an innovation - an open-air cinema is operating. I've never seen anything like this here before.



Last year, the building of the diorama, the former museum of the 1917 Revolution in Vyatka, was renovated, and now it glows like a Christmas Tree even at night. It's too much luxury for our city.
Last year, my wife, my granddaughter, and I were inside the museum, and I liked it. I remembered my childhood, I was here last time in 1980 with my classmates.







An empty footpath. But to be honest, when I entered the park, I came across a group of young girls sitting on a bench in a dark spot. An interesting point is that the museum glows with lights, the paths along the pond are illuminated by lanterns, and the lanterns that previously worked on the far paths in the park are now turned off. So, there was a strong smell of alcohol coming from the girls. I realized from the conversation that they were under 18. I was surprised they weren't afraid the police might show up, but after analyzing the situation, I remembered I'd never seen a policeman here.





Would anyone like to have a cup of coffee? You are welcome.



Today, there are few young people even here. Maybe it's all the fault of the rain that was an hour ago. Or maybe because today is a normal weekday?



About a month ago, there was only one guy with a guitar, and now there are percussion instruments. The guys had prepared a large bag for the money, but the audience was about 15-20 people, mostly girls.



The Ferris wheel doesn't work either. It's all weird. Why is it not working? Apparently, there were no more people who wanted to explore the city from a height in the evenings.








My walk came to an end, and I went home. But people keep watching the movie. It's a long movie. It is called "Podolsk cadets" and tells about the feat of young cadets who, in the fall of 1941, managed to stop the advance of the Nazi troops on the Volokolamsk highway for several days at the cost of their lives.

Friends, goodbye! Until the next walk.


Well. Have all my friends, observers, and readers, wonderful walks on Wednesdays. And also on Sundays and any other day!
