Plebeian Resistance

Dresden contrasts

Corporate woke vs small artisan resistance

A few months ago (4th June my camera states) I had a few hours to kick around in Dresden between trains from south (Prague) and to west (Frankfurt). So I found myself wandering down the main shopping street or maybe better to say the main mall (outside) that led more or less immediately away from the train station. Dresden these days, unlike 20 years ago when we were last there, is barely distinguishable from the West and all the large corporates have now landed solidly in town.
