Linda from Aarhus is in Copenhagen this week with her family, and I met her in Istedgade for an early night coffee. We sat at my favourite place, the nameless coffeeshop overlooking Vesterbro's Enghave Plads. They're building the metro there so the square is looking different every time I'm there. Yesterday it looked OK with a blue sky above, opened up again after having been screened off for months. Children were cycling around the old tree, and the hipsters were sipping coffee under their moustaches while the sun went down. After coffee we walked all the way to Rådhuspladsen and into Inner City, before we said goodbye and she headed towards Christianshavn and I walked all the way back to Vesterbro. For once Copenhagen was dressed in summer colours, and it made everything a little better.
In Eskildsgade they're building a concrete monster.
Vesterbros Torv
Hotel Savoy in Vesterbrogade is one of the least Copenhagen-esque buildings I can think of with the Eastern-looking windows and decorations.
The old industrial building at Rådhuspladsen is also changing. Whether this glasswall is coming or going, we'll have to wait and see.
Indeed. Sometimes you need a licorice to survive the Danish weather. Especially in the summer...

It's coming, altså glasvæggen. Hvor er det fedt at se sin egen by i dine fine billeder. Jeg har tit set dem fra Berlin og tænkt wow, der vil jeg snart hen igen!, nu er det bare at kigge op og være opmærksom :)
Aha, good to know. Tak tak, jeg labber det i mig. København er faktisk slet ikke så grim...
