See title. I hate that there's no little huts for selling newspapers, snacks, and smokes to people. Closest thing I have here in the US is bodegas, but they don't scratch the same itch. Cold days like this make me nostalgic.

    Yes, those exactly! But also the freestanding ones like this.

      Oh the one I've posted was just an example, there are so many different variations and architectural styles that were used in making those, that the list is huuuuge.

      Now that I'm talking about all these variations existing, it reminds me now people try to tell me that socialism had a cookie cutter soul crushing style and me going "lol lmao, no. Here's what they've had". And also asking about that new housing project on the town outskirts, that looks like cookie cutter shit that will make you try to open the wrong door when drunk. Projection and all that is sooooo common it's weirdly funny.

        Yes!! Ever heard of K67 kiosks? They're basically not around now, but when I learned about them I immediately became obsessed with their design. So cool.

        I agree as well. USAmerican suburbs are some of the most depressing and unnerving places to be—they're all identical. But capitalist-bros defend them as a traditional symbol of individualism and freedom lol.
