Apartment Hunting: Janzgasse
Here’s the area where I am considering one apartment:
No idea what “MF” stands for, since it’s for men only, it appears.
Clever name for a barber shop.
This bakery 🇦🇹 is about 1.5 blocks from the apartment.

And another bakery. The name of this place is Sorger 🇦🇹, but the typography makes it hard to figure out.
ATM Heist
A few days ago, some thieves blew up the ATM in front of the Bawag bank near the Billa Plus supermarket. This happened at 3 a.m. Here’s what it looks like right now. (The bank branch is closed, as you might have guessed.)
Flags
A couple of blocks from where the apartment is, I saw these flags in a window:
Someone else saw them and posted it to Reddit. Most of the discussion is in German. The upshot is that the Austrian flag on the left is one that should only be on government buildings, and there’s a €3600 fine for misusing it. That was what people seemed to comment on the most.
