RE: Market Friday. Castle Rock - the oldest rock store in Russia

in Market Friday2 years ago

We have been here before! What a great find this is! Such a gritty, wonderfully appointed space this is. Quirky and comfortable, housing all the remnants of days gone by along with the newer.

I would love to go there and poke through that place! Did you find it as fascinating as I think it would be? The signage is wonderful and catches my eye - the murals and street art are bold and defiant. :) Ah, you have really hit paydirt with this one.

I love how you stretch and find such wonderful places in St Petersburg! I want to thank you so much for going out of your way to finding these pieces of art and history for us! I don't know how to thank you!

I want to thank you for being a part of the #MarketFriday Challenge. I have personally found there is always so much to learn about people, where they live, and how things are done in different parts of the world. For me, reaching out across the globe and learning about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers' markets, has been such a rewarding experience. We have become a melting pot of culture, but, it is still the rituals, festivals, food, architecture, and even your language/languages that separate us... and what is normal for us? There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. We do differ in many ways, which makes us interesting and unique, but, there are many ways in which are so much alike.


Fridays are all about the #MarketFriday Challenge! Looking to take part in it? Here is how:

This is a wonderful place, thank you! Now all the music is on the Internet, but not so long ago it was different! I still remember, this store was perceived as Aladdin's cave. You enter under the low brick vaults and find real musical treasures:)

I really appreciate this challenge and your support! Thank you very much!

I can only imagine how exciting those times were! I can only imagine the joy of finding them. I always appreciate the view you show of the way it was and the way it is. People that have never seen it can't imagine it, people who lived it truly know how to enjoy their freedom and cherish it.

I hope you keep posting these powerful pieces of history. They are truly treasures. I hope you have a most wonderful day!

Thank you so much! Have a wonderful day!
