703845: A City That Won't Let You Forget It
703845. sounds like a random number, right? but this place-let's call it 'the city that time forgot'-is anything but forgettable. i rolled in on a tuesday, and the air hit me like a wet blanket: temp was hovering around -0.26°c, feels like -5.46°c, and the humidity? a solid 72%. perfect weather for layering up and pretending you're in a moody indie film.
first thing i noticed: the streets are narrow, the buildings taller than they have any right to be, and the locals? they look at you like you just asked for their firstborn. but that's the charm, i guess. i heard from a barista (who may or may not have been hungover) that the best coffee in town is at *cafe melancholia-google it, it's a real place-and honestly, she wasn't wrong. the espresso was so strong it could probably fuel a small car.
walking around, i kept thinking: why does this place feel like a cross between a soviet-era museum and a hipster's fever dream? the answer, apparently, is in the history. someone told me that 703845 used to be a major trading hub back in the day, but now it's more of a "hidden gem" for people who like their cities a little rough around the edges. if you're into that, check out the old town square-just don't expect it to be clean or well-lit.
food-wise, i took a gamble on a place called the rusty spoon. the reviews online were mixed-"overpriced," "underseasoned," "the waiter looked at me funny"-but i figured, when in rome (or 703845, whatever). turns out, the soup was legit. not life-changing, but it hit the spot after a day of wandering in the cold.
if you get bored, nearby cities like 47.91,33.39 are just a short drive away-though, honestly, i'm not sure why you'd want to leave. 703845 has this weird, gritty charm that grows on you. maybe it's the weather, maybe it's the people, maybe it's the fact that no one here seems to care about your instagram feed.
i just checked and it's still -0.26°c there right now, hope you like that kind of thing. and if you do end up going, bring a good coat, an open mind, and maybe a flask-you'll need it.
for more on 703845, check out tripadvisor or yelp*. or don't. sometimes the best trips are the ones you don't overplan.
anyway, that's my take. 703845: not for everyone, but maybe exactly what you need.
