Imagine – there is well renovated, nice-looking part of Warsaw: Trzech Krzyży (Three Crosses) Square. There are shops, restaurants, bars and open gardens where fashionable and young people, citizens (and not) of Warsaw, the Capital, eating expensive dinners after work…

… But… when you enter the archway on the street nearby (Hoża) you enter to the different world. World of old tenements, old Warsaw, backyards… and clubs where fashionable and well-dressed people just don’t enter… because of many reasons… …simly they don’t fit there. It’s just a different world. When you enter such archway and look up at the sky you will see something like that:
The bar named ‘5-10-15’ in an old tenement
TWhen you look up you will sth like that.
It was hot that day so the hose was on place.
After crosing the gate you will see the tenemenets remembering the WWII, the roll-bar on the side with the good local (around Waw) beer and wine, big swimming pool for the children, the beach with deckchairs… It was hot so the hose gave the nice feel of water on our ‘local beach’ at the back of the capital.
The tenements was rented and used as the huge party playground. Imagine the 3 or 4 floor with parties and lots of people everywhere ! We were during the day in the middle of the day so the rooms were empty… but we felt the atmosphere of preparing for the weekend.
We’ve decided to enter the building and sightsee the interiors for the little bit…
Stairs up…
walls were painted by the local artists…
Strange contrast old tenement with such paintings.
Nice inscription: “If you look someone call 555- ; Seriously!”
Unfortunately some room were closed, but still there left a lot to see. Like the first room with balcony and the table which looks like prepared for the party and glasses of some mysterious alcohol. Or the next photo with view through the doors on that floor – not mentioning the great looking – carved old doors. Mysterious light from the small windows also is bulding the atmosphere.
Table ready for the party !
Look through the doors…
semi-darkness in the stairwell
And that thing on the first photo was the strangest part… looks like the picture of spray-painters-evil-god with the Below it are the jars… with well-preserved pig legs inside…
There is also the place for the enthusiasts of the Lomo photography. Tha sign is clearly saying that (except the LOMO notice on the walls around). And the final photo – the tenement from the outside.
