Tomorrow is #tagdertrinkhallen in the Ruhr of Germany. The small bodega-like kiosks, also known as Bude are omnipresent fixtures in the region and serve as places to pick up beer, sweets, newspapers, and other essentials. They are also THE place to catch up on local comings and goings. You know, gossip.
Seen here are two that have been immortalized on my train layout. As one will do, I have taken liberties in fitting them into the layout.
The first is the Bergbau-Grill in #Bochum, opposite the #bergbaumuseumbochum. There we were able to grab some snacks after our visit at the museum. It is now closed ... Those who wish can download a "kit" I made based around the facade and some details. For more see it on the main website here. An article about scratchbuilding with card can be found here.
The second was on the Kölnerstr in #Duisburg, just down the block from my grandparents. My Opa would regularly send us there to return the empties and pick up his new crate of König Pilsner beer. We grabbed some Haribo or other sweet. No cash was exchanged as everyone knew everyone and ran tabs. It too is now closed. LOTS of memories there.
