Glowing street signs - a very good decision! True, I do not know if the workers. Well, it is clear that an advertisement hung in the height of the facade, which was rightly done and removed. Another would kondei clean the yard.

In general, Ekaterinburg, like Novosibirsk, fully met my expectations. Large 3 million megacities with excellent infrastructure, high-rise buildings and many small nishtyakov in the form of old merchant houses and a small park sculpture. Sorry for Ekb, I had very little time... But the most important interest of the city I checked out.
