There’s an old neighborhood in the northern part of Wrocław where residents have taken to creating various art projects at the base of multiple buildings. This enhances the aesthetic appeal of what are otherwise quite drab old buildings. The facades (without art) of some these buildings are shown in the Steven Spielberg film Bridge of Spies to represent East Berlin, because apparently East Berlin had become too fancy in the intervening years!
Historical note: After World War II, Poland’s borders were redrawn by the Allies, and entire cities were repopulated with different ethnicities. Wrocław itself used to be the German metropolis of Breslau, but it was subsequently filled with refugee Poles from Lwów, which is now Lviv, in Ukraine. Millions were displaced from their ancestral homes. When all the relocations were completed, Poland was almost exclusively populated by Poles.
Bonus note: Gotta love these Eastern Europe prices! A salad, two pieces of bread, a package of salami, and a large mineral water. $3.28 total. Almost seems like a cash register error.
A bonus photo from Wrocław:
Today’s dad joke (yes, you can guess the theme now): What do you call an underweight person from Wrocław?
A light Pole!

This takes graffiti to a whole new level. To illustrate a “six degrees of Kevin Bacon” occurrence, I am currently reading a fictional thriller in which Wroclaw is mentioned.
That’s a coincidence!
Very neat! The artwork is like a well-POLISHed version of Foundation in Asheville.
Ohh, I see what you’re doing here! That’s a good angle I didn’t consider, nice one. I may have to take a POLE of the blog’s readers to hear what their favorite country-related puns are.
