To the “gauze” or to the bar
A frequent Vilnius resident, thirsty for the joys of summer, getting off the trolleybus near the Antakalnis ring road, immediately walked about 100 meters back to Antakalnio Street. 95 house where there was a liquor store called “gauze”.
“They” shut up “and then left. And who was lazy to go, there was a trucking company near the old special hospital and a beer kiosk behind. You see there are around 50 people standing and drinking. Today in day, such images are no longer much, but it was customary for many people to fold a cup against Valakampiai, “says Vytis.
A cheaper bottle of “žigulinis” beer cost 50 kopecks at the store. However, after adding the bottle, 12 kopecks could be recovered.
“The bottle was dark brown in color, the shape of the kva bottles produced by Vilniaus Duona now appears to be the same. The date until which the beer is valid was marked on the cap. The beer was not pasteurized and was valid for a short time, for a few days, “said Vytis.
After shopping or “getting stronger” at the bar, the walk to the beaches began. The main path to the beaches stretched along the Neris.
This path has survived to the present. Although now only single athletes or cyclists will meet here, and once it was crowded. From there, across the river, you can see the high-rise buildings of Žirmūnai.
