A neighborhood update.

The ugly side.

The lawyer´s office. As gentrification excludes poorer people and those that can´t defend and speak for

themselves, the lawyer specialized in tenancy law is needed like never before. Extrusion is something

nobody really had expected to arrive so quickly and vigorously in this part of Berlin.

The sunny side.

An afternoon stroll in spring, the warmth of the sun increases, the eccentrics back on

the street also increase. Kreuzberg and it´s crazy street life awakens.

The sweet side.

Is it a candy store or just another try at giving a new start-up a cultic image?

Or simply out of business for some time already? 

The funny side.

"Only for motorcycle use! Not for robberies, thank you!!!" - Some joke, because

the shop owner obviously doesn´t know his people. The average Kreuzberger

uses these masks for parties on May 1st.

The good side.

There are nice possibilities for an relaxing hour after work, especially outside.

Good and varied food is abundant in our neighborhood

The dark side.

Howling at the moon or hide-and-go-seek with night creatures in Görli (Görlitzer Park).

There is always action around after nightfall.

The grey side.

Some buildings don´t get prettier with time, no matter how much patina they get.

Ugly but interesting, a typical Kreuzberg combination. Grey skies don´t make

it better, I should´ve waited for the blue...
