Went back there a few years ago, and it’s like you say, nothing has changed from my youth to now (30 years). I was told it was a bad area and I should not go there, yet I did not feel fear, it was the place I grew up in and it seemed that even the soccer thugs sensed something about my posture that was non-threatening. I walked from block to block, met only by mild curiosity by the onlookers. It felt good for me, kind of wished I could scream out, "look I made it!". LOL, made what? I don’t think anyone would care what I made or if I made it at all… They would think I was a crazy person. So I gave 10 zloty to some bums, who seemed more than happy to take it and run off in the direction of the nearest convenience store. I will never forget Bałuty, that is for sure. All I remember is fondness, but those are memories of a child, and later a reminiscent adult. Thanks for the memory just the same.

As the subject of our project we have chosen to concentrate on Baluty, Lodz. The purpose of this project is to initiate urban revival and solve social issues within the district through design. We are wondering if you would be able to possibly provide us with some information or references, or even to send us pictures of Baluty? Your help would be extremely appreciated. Thank you Hi,
