Typical Street

Sechenova Street, Odessa, Ukraine Posted by Hello

This street looks quite typical in Odessa, Ukraine. There is a lot of rennovation underway and slowly the people are tearing up the pavement on the wide sidewalks and replacing them with nice bricks. The streets are wide; so are the sidewalks, and most streets have trees - some have grapevines. The city blocks are large and the buildings are situated close to the street leaving no room for front lawns and there are few front entrances to apartments. Instead, you have to enter through an alleyway into the back of the building, where there is almost always a large courtyard and enter from there. This is the street where I live and my apartment is just above the trees on the lefthand side about halfway down the picture. I have a small balcony overlooking the street.
