Kotva

There's a big reconstruction going on with the Kotva department store.

Czech automotive history in Kotva department store... sort of

There's a small thematic exhibition on the ground floor of Kotva department store. And quite nice if you like cars like I do :) There are several interesting Skodas and one Tatra (that's the one above).

Now have a look below. Not on the sport rallye Skoda, even though it's a fun little car to drive. But on the second car in the background. This is a skoda that belonged to our president Vaclav Klaus at the time when he, well, wasn't our president :)

Something strange, Kotva opens and an apple

Something strange at the cubist shop.


The big Kotva department store re-opens today.


And I bought the new iLife :)

Newer and better Kotva store

A lot of changes in the good old Kotva department store - former biggest one in Prague. They continue in overall reconstructions, currently on the 3rd floor.

In related news, and this may be interesting to someone who remembers Maj. Tesco is renaming itself to "My" so... there was that another big department store at Narodni trida street we called "Maj", which is pronounced fairly similar to english word "my". It was renamed like ten years ago to Tesco. And now as you would guess it will be back with the old/new name "My", which is pronounced fairly similar to czech word "maj".
Here's a picture of Maj/Tesco/My and here's a picture from the back, the way I go almost everyday :)

Kotva store at night

Kotva store can look so old. When you're facing the brand new Palladium shopping center there is actually no choice but to look old.
