During the 1960`s and 70`s, around 200 department stores were built in Sweden by KF (Kooperativa Förbundet)), usually in city centers and without regard to earlier historical environments, wich were demolished without mercy. Now 40 years later....they are all gone.

The Clarion Hotel Post in Göteborg

From here.....everything is possible. Money talks in Göteborg....

Göteborg as became a [bad] joke....

Clarion Hotel Post, Göteborg

Now the results are clearly visible and the old post office in Gothenburg has been raped by this misplaced tower. Is this a decision of lobotomised politicians....or incompetent urban planners ? The old Post Office was an architectural unit...!
