But then, I rarely shop there. If I need groceries on Sunday, Friedrichstr. is easier to get to, and the Edeka there is cheaper.Ed Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805932361842578943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7052429.post-1165422895533227882006-12-06T17:34:00.000+01:002006-12-06T17:34:00.000+01:00I had missed that.

And I do not find the Lehrter Bhf gloomy either; a bit on the nondescript side perhaps (Gerkan is no Calatrava) but not gloomy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7052429.post-1165417183705744802006-12-06T15:59:00.000+01:002006-12-06T15:59:00.000+01:00oh i always loved the underground walkways behind ...oh i always loved the underground walkways behind Alex - but they've been closed for a while now anyway. Perhaps you can hope that your flute playing Mephistopheles is sealed in somewhere below. I wonder what happened to the colourful signs, guiding the hapless Dante's through that rectangular hell - I never could figure out if i was entering through A and exiting through B or vice verse. So pointless and smacking of that seventies urbanism which favored fast moving vehicular arteries in the heart of the city over any sort of pedestrian culture. Transport policy is often the realm of misguided and poorly informed dreamers. Or penny pinching assh*les like Mehdorn. Glad that von Gerkan won. got to say though ed, if the hauptbahnhof is one of the gloomiest places you've ever been, you've led a charmed life...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
