Malmö

[[Luisa]] and [[Olle]] held their 10th anniversary party in this city-owned hall. In a previous incarnation the building was the original home to Klubb Bongo, a music club that hosted everyone from BB King to Ella Fitzgerald to Led Zepplin to The Who. The club is commemorated with a plaque embedded in the sidewalk out front.

I stopped for a snack at Malmö C (the central train station in the city) last night. There’s a piano in the waiting room and a group of young people were clustered around it picking out tunes, the last of which was the opening refrain from Celine Dion’s Titanic theme.

The café was very close to my Airbnb flat when I visited Malmö in 2013 for Alibis for Interaction. I returned in 2016. From a tiny, perfect room they serve good coffee and pastries. There is a garden across the street in the spring and summer. It’s the kind of coffee shop that everyone would like next door to their house.
