this is about 19 miles down the coast from me.
Thank you Dale, the middle one is a postcard for Happy new Year 2018, but it is taken downtown, and there was a restaurant where we had the wedding reception a little over 34 years ago 
I googled Timosaura the day you posted these and found some other great views of the architecture.
Yes Dale, your first and last picture are of the same Plazza, called Piata Operei (Opera Plazza). All traffic had been removed, growing up there were tram lines going through, as well as cars, now everything runs around it. Only bicycles and walking are allowed. Many of the buildings have been renovated, but a closer up picture would still show holes where shooting had happened in December of 89. Following the fall of the Berlin wall, Timisoara was the first city to raise against the regime. The capital of the country, Bucharest, raised 3 days after the protest started in Timisoara. We were all on the street, right in front of the Opera building. This is the view of the Plazza from the cathedral this time; right the opposite is the Opera building. We were all on the streets, and maybe if dad were not with me, I would not be here today. He had just retired from the army, and was used with the sound of the approaching heavy artillery; he asked me to leave right before the heavy tanks were brought in and started shooting.
Wow! That's scary!
I found another picture attributed to Timosaura of these war beetles. Look closely. 🙂
We had some HUC's Come aboard our bus from Manila To Subic Bay, Machine guns out, wanted a $3000 ransom to let us pass. Something similar happened in Korea when our bus driver ran a checkpoint coming back into Seoul.
Wow, it seems as we all had our share of violence...Funny thing, when protesting I did not feel I was in danger (totally wrong), where just thinking at your situation makes me scared. Maybe because in my situation I choose to put myself in harm ways, at that time I had such strong beliefs that it was "Change it or die". I remember the little bugs, they seem like a big happy family with the little ones waiting to get their spots when they grow into adults
