There's a tourist spot in my city that reminds me a damn lot of early Submachine interiors. The whole thing might as well have been pulled straight out of The Root, or aught similar. It's been over a year since last time I've been there, though... it's a sort of old, huge engine facility that has been serving as a museum of sorts for years.
The place itself is situated right next to a river (there's a small dock where you can actually take a ferry that takes a stroll up and down said river during daylight hours), and there's a road of sorts that stretches for about 1km or so that is perfect for walking, jogging, riding a bike, or just going closer to the water and sitting down to admire the sunset. And littered with food stands and people selling random stuff through the entire thing...
Well, it WOULD have been the case, but there's been a real pesky storm that ravaged the city during the night (I swear by the subgods above: it's reported that there was a miniature tornado forming on the river during that storm), and sort of obliterated that stretch of road and "sit-by-the-water-and-do-whatever" grass. Thankfully, the building itself is fine.
Sadly, that road-thingy-majick has yet to be fully repaired and operational. Construction folks are probably about 40% done with it, from what I can tell. The catch? Said storm that caused all that was in January 2015. Yup, two whole years and what was one of the most popular spots of the entire city at any time of the day is STILL not back in full swing.
Welcome to Brazil, everyone...
BS aside, I regret not having my phone with me last time I visited the building, because I realized that some spots were SO Submachine-like that it wasn't even funny. Next time I go there, I'll get some pictures and upload them.
