This reminds me of “Duck Dodgers in the 21st Century”.

An old photo but still a goodie. I hope to post something weekly about my travels in Europe – old and new.


I went to Katowice one spring to help out a friend of mine who lived there and I got to see up close and personal -Spodek. It means “saucer” in Polish. It is a multipurpose development that opened in 1971. To me it screams socialist architecture. This building has the main dome, a gym, a hockey rink, a hotel and three large parking lots. According to wikipedia it was the largest indoor venue in Poland until 2014 when the Tauron Arena delivered in Krakow. The Tauron Arena hosted 2014 the FIVB World Volleyball Championships THAT POLAND WON. 🙂 It also hosts major concerts and sporting events.

I love traveling and have been lucky enough to do a lot of it across the United States, most of eastern Canada and Europe. Here are some of my favorite places and memories from Europe. Hopefully there will be many more photos once travel is allowed again. Additionally, I am a real estate market analyst focusing on housing and senior housing issues and this had led me to travel all over for work. I have conducted research in Poland and the U.S. housing and senior issues, creating original data, and publishing results in a variety of publications. My book about senior housing issues in Poland is now available on amazon. https://tinyurl.com/yxml38bo. It too has some unique photos in it.
