Chisinau has many young and talented artists. Luckily, we can see some of their art right in the city center. Dmitrii Potapov has done a beautiful job by refreshing Lazo str, the section between Sciusev str and Bucuresti str.
I pass by it every day, and this art piece always manages to put a smile on my face and put me in a cheerful and good mood. For this street section, the artist choose to present a selection of cartoon characters and symbols. My absolute favorite is the Mystery Machine from Scooby Doo, but also all other characters are nice to see, as they bring a lot of nice memories from my childhood, when the best time was spent on Cartoon Network channel.Â
Also, this part of the city center is full of beautiful architecture and nice buildings, so it would definitely be worth the walk.
