This yard on Melngaiļa street in Riga must have been used for driving lessons in Soviet times. The mural features traffic signs and a warning in Russian to follow the rules on the road.

Elevator
This cute elevator can be found at Dzelzceļa (Railway) health centre in Riga. Styled in Soviet vintage, they even got a lift-boy to operate it.

Gastronome
Those neon lights are what's left from a Soviet time "gastronomy" - grocery store. They indicate the products you could buy there- sausage, ham, cheese, milk & kefir and canned goods. The signs can still be found on K.Valdemara street in Riga, while the shop vanished back in 1990s.
