A middle-sized city in the center of Poland, halfway between the
mountains and the Baltic Sea. Neither rich, nor really poor, with a
typical history of a region’s industrial capital which blossomed in the
time of state socialism and lost that position after 1989. Such places
evolve in a very special way. With advancements in technology and
funds from the European Union, the look of both the city and the
people has been changing. But still, both remain a medley of the past
they come from and the effects of modernization, influenced by the
local mentality. A halfway state, in between present and past, between
east and west, between here and now.
