2014-03-30. Moscow, Night tram parade.

12 April 2014 tram parade will be held in Moscow, in honor of the 115th anniversary of tram service. A convoy of tramcars will drive along the route A. March 30 at night held a rehearsal of the parade. I learned about it by accident: my friend noticed museum cars on the street and called me on the phone. I attached a tripod backpack, and went to a night on the bike. In 2009 was the same night parade, I was filming a video. Москва.

Communal House of the Textile Institute 2014

В Москве существует известный "дом-коммуна на улице Орджоникидзе" постройки 1930 года. Это студенческое общежитие - памятник архитектуры. Последние лет 10 там был капитальный ремонт с частичной разборкой. В 2013 году заселили жилой корпус. После ремонта корпус выглядит красиво, но оригинальные элементы оказались утрачены. К жилому корпусу примыкают два бытовых корпуса, большой ремонт там начался только сейчас.
Узнал я о нём из ЖЖ Николая Васильева.
