Looks, for the most part, exactly the same as now… 😐
Beautiful! Where are all the Ladas?
Looks so idyllic compared to what we have now.
Fun fact, the Christmas decorations in the last picture, the lightbulb art boards hanging above the street, are still in use.
Haha I have not seen that many cars in Savonlinna in 20 years 😀
You are lucky to have others with you on traffic lights there during rush hour these days.
Peak western society
Some my summer car vibes there.
Everything seems very boxy.
Back then we had a prosperous, wealthy future, now we only have prosperous, wealthy past.
love it
If you swap the cars for modern round and boring ones the scenery looks just like today, which i found interesting
1980 Finland looks like Latam nowadays 🤣🤣
I’ll be damned. The poster on the first picture reads: Nokia Initial Public Offering, 28.5-30.6 1986, Invest to the future.
10 grand in and (if you held at rock bottom) you would have beena millioner in 15 years.
Some of those old cars may still be around. I see many finns drive around in 1980s cars. I think it’s cool.
Ah. Beautiful Joutseno! 🥰
80s historical?
I feel so very old.
Joutseno is still nice, even if it’s been annexed into Lappeenranta and there aren’t a lot of young people.
