Do you know Lodz?

If you don't know this city, I am inviting you here :) City worth visiting...I hope that my friends who were here are sharing this opinion. Recently - Simone and Jochen. Simone, on her was from conference, said, that she likes Lodz more that Wroclaw. Jochen, with a surprise visit, had a very limited sightseeing tour, but anyway, said that Lodz was far more then he expected. What he expected to see? Ruined houses, demolished factories, grey streets...and this is not true anymore! Of course there are parts of the city that I would call... ugly... but there are places more interesting than elsewhere. Also places that, although not in really good condition, are beautiful. Also places renovated, and amazing. It is all about the way you want to see things...
Thank you Aapo for your nice words in your blog about this city.
If you want to see it, because you have heard good things, because you have heard bad things, or just because you have never ever heard about it - feel free to pay a visit :)
