Golden Prague was Red Prague through 1990, when they saw the wisdom that is McDonald's and KFC. Here are some pictures from those days...

In the Andel Metro station is this engraving.

(By the way, those Soviet escalators are wicked, scarily fast! The ones in Munich are painfully slow... but that's another story.)

An old milk store. Yep, just milk.

This Soviet wedding cake hotel was built in 1952 for the Soviet army.

It's luxurious inside, with wonderful woodwork and plush carpeting. The balustrades on the stairways are wheat stalks of brass!

Now it's a Holiday Inn. I like that they painted the red star on top green. It's the color of money, isn't it?
