Lakko | Hylly tyhjeni jo ruokakaupassa Helsingissรค Helsingin kaupoissa nรคkyi jo sunnuntaina tyhjiรค hyllyjรค, vaikka myymรคlรถistรค lakon vaikutuksia ei vahvisteta.

Hesari yrittรครค taas huudattaa. ๐Ÿ™„ Kaupassakin kommentoitiin toimittajalle tyhjiรค hyllyjรค, ettei aamukuorma ollut vielรค tullut. Hamstraamisen sijaan ihmiset saattavat ostaa enemmรคn ruokaa, koska koululaiset ovat lomalla ja niille pitรครค tehdรค safkaa, kun ei ole kouluruokaa. www.hs.fi/helsinki/art...

What fun thing would you do in Helsinki this ski break with an 8 and an 11 year old? Ideally, not too expensive! Any ideas?

this is a great piece, linda mentions ruoholahti in helsinki.

family sized homes. thin floor plates and taller buildings with generous courtyards. open space. car-light streets. space for trees. privacy between buildings.

now compare this to development in seattle - the complete opposite.

Finnish Civil War The Finnish Civil War was a civil war in Finland in 1918 fought for the leadership and control of the country between White Finland and the Finnish Socialist Workers' Republic during the country's transition from a grand duchy ruled by the Russian Empire to a fully independent state. The clashes took place in the context of the national, political, and social turmoil caused by World War I in Europe. The war was fought between the Red Guards, led by a section of the Social Democratic Party, and the White Guards, conducted by the senate and those who opposed socialism with assistance late in the war by the German Imperial Army at the request of the Finnish civil government. The paramilitary Red Guards, which were composed of industrial and agrarian workers, controlled the cities and industrial centres of southern Finland. The paramilitary White Guards, which consisted of land owners and those in the middle and upper classes, controlled rural central and northern Finland, and were led by General C. G. E. Mannerheim.
