From Russia: The Last Toy Store Carousel!


Hello,

I know this is not an individual photo but I still think that it is the best spot to post this video.

(Link to First Article on store being closed.)

I made this tiny video of a Merry-Go-Round in a Toy store that has been destroyed now. The last I heard it was being destroyed for modern stores. I was appalled at the thought and do not understand what is in peoples minds when they destroy things like this. This store is a Soviet Era store and was incredible.

The video is poor quality because it was taken on a cheap digital camera but I am glad that I got it because the store is no more.

This was a true fairyland for children and there are not many like it left in the world.

It seems a shame that we destroy all our past for a small future gains…
