"Soul School - September 29th, 2019"

I named this one "Soul School" because of the African American Church across the street.

It was a Sunday morning and they were having a service and the place was dripping with soul, from the clothes the people were wearing to the sound of the music coming from the walls.

Fun Fact, a popular hop hop artist named Ka the Rapper (Kaseem Ryan) out of Brownsville in Brooklyn licensed one of my photos from this location for his album titled "Languish Arts". Kaseem Ryan passed away on October 12th, 2024.

I visited for the first time, and I really loved it. Hoping to come back some time soon!

Photo was taken in Greece :)

I saw this on May 14, 2026 on a nice walk.

I took this photo back in 2009 when the Haifisch Cocktailbar had a really striking neon sign — two black sharks alongside the word “Cocktaillounge.”

Browsing Google Street view recently, I noticed the sign has been removed. Now only the vertical red “BAR” neon remains. Personally, I think the old design had much more character.

Does anyone here remember the original shark signboard?

It is the workers who produce value, yet capital just continues to flow upwards.

This narrative about “working hard for your wealth” seems closer to being a myth that serves only to pit people against one another in order to divide and conquer.

Given the fact that such a society revolves around ownership rather than work, it is clear why it preserves wealth and undermines collective action, like trade unions.
