Prague is a dead city

in #petrvl2 years ago

Long time ago I was use to live a night live in Prague, most of it in center. Yesterday around ten I was on a verge go somewhere. Opportunity, time, energy was on right spot. I put my playlist in ears and go.

In local bar take espresso say hallo was a right move to move my body out of local to center... Night walk with destination some bar somewhere...
Knowing a city, knowing the streets I walked. Free of my mined. Was a walk against wall, wall of nothingness. This city is dead!

Around eleven most of pub start to closing. It was beginning of summer and most of all was Friday. Around that time I toke bottle in one hipster bar witch I know and roll a joint. Few people around, streets was almost dead and I was on border of inner city.

I crossed the center square with only place with more tourists. On the and of my walk I sneak in closed pub to pee. I after more than 10 km turn my body back around to home. Even most of the fast food in center was closed. Mini supermarket also closed, only few of then was open in center. My feed took me against pro-famous futurist Prague center - Old town square.

I didn't noticing the road, looking around for living bars. Few bars was open and almost empty. I was rolling joint heading to center. With joint in my hand I walk on Old town square from Small square. Before Orloj I looked on joint in my hand. And sound took a place. Time machine start to saying midnight.

This photo represent everything. Rest of the square is empty.

Was i right time smoke a joint in the middle of square.

On the way back I spot few new places for club lovers. And one nice new place. Few small groups of tourists was standing before hotels on the way back to theirs rooms. Town was dead.

In one bar near Florence I take shot of Diplomatico and bottle of Alois 12°, blonde beer.

Symbolism of dead city street with no people, no car moving take like right for them self's rabbits.

I was amazed. Twenty kilometers of walk thought night city and no night life. Was a nice walk anyway.

What has happened? What do you think what causing it? The lockdowns effect the social life?

Prague is specific case. Yes Pandemic and also economic crisis. But in Prague is most of all many years changing behavior. 10 Years after revolution people start to do something else than live live like before and this change also include change of the "party" style. :) Pub/bar/club is obviously not trendy and also people drink alcohol much much less. And if they drink they drink more home than in bar.
