There is not any want to inform you concerning the chilly nights I spent in Egnatia looking forward to the bus. It is graphic and does not worry somebody. I take a look at to consider the child my grandson may well be in the future, making recollections within subway stations. I used to be status within the rain, out of doors Venizelos station, however the reminiscence went and glued to the development above the north front of the station. It’s the Caravan Sarai. A couple of centuries in the past there used to be an inn.
Then, at the start of the 20 th century, a mansion used to be erected, which housed town corridor, but in addition a bus station that also operates these days, serving, in some way, the identify of the development. So there I used to be, sopping wet, in entrance of the station, hood as much as my eyes, water glistening on my raincoat. Round me had been thessalonians with umbrellas who had been additionally looking forward to Mitsotakis to press the button and for the blinds of the station to upward thrust. And when that used to be performed, I started to descend the black steps, leaving in the back of me the rain, the age-weary Egnatia, the wrinkled face of the Caravan Sarai, the slippery pavement of Venizelo. It used to be as though he opened a door that pulled me into the depths of the town. I would possibly not disguise from you that I used to be moved. And I used to be extra aggravated by way of the pitiful whining and supposedly anti-systemic sarcasm.
Thessaloniki bought probably the most gorgeous, probably the most fashionable, probably the most puppet metro in Europe that runs underneath Roman and Byzantine streets, pierces the layers of time like a bullet and ends someplace at some point. The officers mentioned so much on the opening. And large ones. For connecting portions of the town, disposing of visitors issues and extra. They did not say an important factor. That the subway might be that drug that can run during the arteries of the town and provides it the essence of self-confidence. Thessaloniki can and must turn out to be the following large factor in Southeastern Europe. And as a well-known kid of hers, Dionysis Savvopoulos, would say, whoever does now not perceive this, does now not know the place he’s stepping and the place he’s going.
