S.W. Marcin

Another beautiful day not to be wasted sitting inside so I took my Queen for a coffee in front of Empik, one of our favorite people watching places. I didn't know that on Plac Walnosci they were setting up a sound stage and people viewing was limited. It didn't really matter that much. The main thing is we were out of the flat and enjoying the great weather. In my opinion, they have good coffee at a reasonable price, 10 PLN for 2 cups. It was the same saleswoman behind the counter from last year and she remembered me. That was nice.

We sat and talked for 2 hours and then decided to walk to S,W Marcin street to what it looks like now. It is the main street through town and used to be full of traffic but not many pedestrians. It is completely different now. Cars are very limited and in place of much of the road are very wide walkways and places to sit on both sides. There is also a bicycle path. I did notice on the south side, several shops still do not have businesses in them. In general, the idea for the change was to bring more people shop in the center of town. I think they should have thought of that before they opened the newest shopping center, Posnania.

Kolejny pi臋kny dzie艅, kt贸rego nie mo偶na zmarnowa膰 siedz膮c w 艣rodku, wi臋c zabra艂em moj膮 kr贸low膮 na kaw臋 przed Empik, jednym z naszych ulubionych ludzi ogl膮daj膮cych miejsca. Nie wiedzia艂em, 偶e na Placu Walnosci urz膮dzaj膮 scen臋 d藕wi臋kow膮, a ogl膮danie ludzi jest ograniczone. To nie mia艂o wi臋kszego znaczenia. Najwa偶niejsze, 偶e wyszli艣my z mieszkania i cieszyli艣my si臋 wspania艂膮 pogod膮. Moim zdaniem maj膮 dobr膮 kaw臋 w rozs膮dnej cenie, 10 z艂 za 2 kubki. By艂a to ta sama sprzedawczyni za lad膮 z zesz艂ego roku i pami臋ta艂a mnie. To by艂o 艂adne.

Siedzieli艣my i rozmawiali艣my przez 2 godziny, a nast臋pnie zdecydowali艣my si臋 przej艣膰 do ulicy S, W Marcin, jak wygl膮da teraz. Jest to g艂贸wna ulica przez miasto, niegdy艣 pe艂na ruchu, ale nie wielu pieszych. Teraz jest zupe艂nie inaczej. Samochody s膮 bardzo ograniczone i zamiast du偶ej cz臋艣ci drogi s膮 bardzo szerokie chodniki i miejsca do siedzenia po obu stronach. Istnieje r贸wnie偶 艣cie偶ka rowerowa. Zauwa偶y艂em po stronie po艂udniowej, 偶e kilka sklep贸w nadal nie ma w nich firm. Og贸lnie rzecz bior膮c, pomys艂 na zmian臋 polega艂 na wprowadzeniu wi臋kszej liczby ludzi do sklepu w centrum miasta. My艣l臋, 偶e powinni byli o tym pomy艣le膰, zanim otworzyli najnowsze centrum handlowe Posnania.
