Back in the days, when #punkrock was still dangerous, the #Kiefernstraße in #Düsseldorf was an infamous street to walk on.

"Those days are long gone“, says Frank, the dude who delivers the heating diesel to a couple of houses on the block. I had offered him one of my genuine handcrafted Italian cappuccino to kickstart the conversation, but he’d declined with a broad smile across his face and countered, that he’d just finished his 20oz trucker coffeemug. That must’ve been the reason for him being so talkative, or maybe the fact that he’s riding by himself nowadays and the tenant who was supposed to sign the bill of delivery was a no-show. „you know, boy“ he said „back in the days when we would pull around the corner into this street people would be cheering us a welcome“. Ya right, I was trying to imagine how that must’ve looked like: a bunch of angry kids and young punks who haven’t slept in three days straight getting all happy for the diesel boys?

Anywoo, Frank seemed to sense that doubt in my eyes so he added „when I rang the doorbell I had to watch my head because almost instantly someone would drop a rope down from a balcony above“. They pulled up the diesel hose to fill up two barrels large with the heating fuel. Frank explained that the second diesel boy meanwhile had to stay inside the delivery truck so it wouldn’t get stolen while he was hooking up the hose to the rope.

„Those days are long gone“ he repeated with an ambiguous smirk on his face. „When punk rock was still dangerous“, I thought. Nowadays the old folks live in regular tenancies and not much happens around here anymore. Except maybe neighbors calling the cops or fighting over music being played too damn loud or even arguing over paint being spilled all over the sidewalk and everywhere. I signed Franks delivery bill, took my cappuccino cup back inside my messy place and sighed as I dialed my doctors phonenumber. I’ve been wanting to talk to him about all this and what not. Just being alive and love to give. Thank God, I’m a cuntree boy. Yip, that’s meh.

"This is a lovely hotel in a really nice area. The area is pedestrianised so there's no traffic outside which was nice. We used all public transport so this suited us well. The rooms were small but comfortable. The rooftop bar was also very nice although the service was a little slow. "

"The check in staff member was amazing, friendly and very helpful during our stay. Hotel was clean, 10 mins to old town and 10 mins to main station. Would definitely recommend it. Clean rooms, comfy bed and great shower. Only negative was the lack of a fridge"
