Ruhrpott Part Three - return of the wiseguys
3rd Part of the Ruhrpott Quadrologie. I walked through the city several times at different hours. But with cities it is always the same: Nothing catches people more than artificial light and the glamour of the big cities. But Essen actually isn't glamorous. Where Berlin is "poor and sexy". Essen is "poor and poor". So the city is that poor that poor became a standard. The 3rd part is called "no return"

The Fog
Once in a while the fog is in the streets of Essen.
Cars
Cars, cars, cars. Those cars need more space than the people. Streets are everywhere. Do you see bikes? No, of course not.
Trash
Just throw your stuff away. It isn't necessary to buy stuff that lasts longer; you are able to buy cheap stuff whenever you need it. Just go one…
