Bubny

Today we walked around this part of the city, where a grand rebuilding is planned, at the place of the abolished train station and little around too. The plan is big and scary. Last month they pulled down several historical technical buildings that had been monuments and under the care, the resolution was later cancelled for obvious reasons. I am amazed how much they enjoy building. It might help the neighborhood at some places, that is sure, the rest will be just filled in.

The whole open area at Bubny train station, where the tracks are now, will be mostly filled in with large blocks of houses and supposedly a park. I don't know how the park will function. Will it be surrounded by apartment blocks or offices? If the second the park might turn into a ghost zone in the evenings and weekends. Some lift-up, on the other had, would do good around Holešovické nádraží, where they had smashed the old Holešovice back in the 1970s and 1980s, a typical periphery from the 1920s, mostly single houses and courtyards and small gardens. My dad liked walking there, he told me only recently. I have liked it too but I actually never saw it in real. Now the Holešovice railway station stands there, and wasted land around. It is obvious they had destroyed more that they could deal with. The first picture shows a house from the old Holešovice, it is and it has always been a pub, maybe a hotel long time ago.
