Oh how I will miss thee, Hlavní nádraží Megasekáč.
We had some good times together, especially last winter, when Sunday was 5 Kč day. In those months, I'd visit you with a 100 kč note in my pocket and come home with a pile of smelly, but oh so lovely and oh so cheap clothes. So in memory of those great days, here's a picture of some of the great clothes I bought when you were still up and running:
Turns out it's really hard to take a good photo of a garment by itself - all the ones I took looked like evidence pics from a crime scene, and I didn't feel like "modelling" them myself because of my post-Christmas and post-New Year's resolution diet failure.
Anyway, 5 Kč? For clothes that make you look, um, not homeless after you've put them in the washer?
And I didn't even mind all the shady figures that would stroll the aisles alongside me, or the fact that there was only one changing room ( who would give a shit at 5 kč a pop? If you're a thrift store pro, you just eyeball that shit and hope it works) or the service "without a smile."
None of that could have come between us, but I guess I kind of forgot about you for a while because you didn't have the 5 Kč Sundays every week anymore. And then, after months of not seeing you, I make it to your faithful lovely doors only to discover this:
Closed down!!!
So, with the last megasekáč gone from the center of the city, slow loris and I are due for an excursion to the other location at Praha-Úvaly. That's REALLY far out and we'll let you know if it's worth it. Also, I'll keep you posted on smaller thriftstores within the city.
