Oddbean new post about login | logout St. Petersburg: wait, is this New York? Those apartment complexes probably have the same amount of rats per capita. Very beautiful big shopping malls, I bet people get abducted there all the time. Overall a decent place, reminds me of the northeastern US.
@Alex Gleason @52aee7fd It was built around the same time, 18-19th century, right after Peter I's europe-isation. Google Maps stopped getting updated in 2022, and many streets, especially in smaller cities, haven't been updated since early-mid 2010s, so you'd better be using Yandex for more up-to-date shots. I know my city has been expanded in terms of construction and repair quite a lot in recent years.
