TSENTRALNY GASTRONOM



1895 mint-green Style Moderne former mansion,now a store and cafe.One of the delightful architectural sights along Ul Mulavyova-Amurskogo, the main drag leading down to the River terrace. The Human traffic is equally exotic and entertaining with everyone dressed(undressed) for summer-sartorially very evocative of Australia.

Lawrence Ferlinghetti-the poet laureate of San Francisco had this to say about Khabarovsk's main drag.

Recipe For Happiness Khaborovsk Or Anyplace

One grand boulevard with trees
with one grand cafe in sun
with strong black coffee in very small cups.

One not necessarily very beautiful
man or woman who loves you.

One fine day.
