Street Art by Markus Janista in Oberursel

Up until yesterday, I did not know we had another little gem hidden in Oberursel Vorstadt. It must have been hidden by all the merchandise the former shop PRESENT had out front. Now that the shop has been completely cleared out, this box became visible.

This painted power distribution box features a hibiscus (also known as rose of Sharon), and was done by Marcus Janista (Canister.de).

The shop window on the left used to belong to PRESENT, and its premises have been converted into an art gallery for the moment.

About the shop and its window on the right – I don’t even recall what it used to be.

Mr. Canister, we miss you.

Free Books at Rushmoor Park Oberursel

In July 2011, a typical English phone booth at Rushmoor Park in Oberursel opened its doors to become host to another public library.

Since it is open to the public, anybody can borrow a book or drop one off. You can sit down and read on the spot (there are some benches for your convenience) or take the book/books home.

There is no signing in or out – feel free to take what you need. Of course, you can also drop off your unwanted books there. At the moment, among many other books, you also find three math books and a French dictionary. The range of available books keeps growing.

BookCrossing members also use this spot for a convenient drop-off. I had a notification just this morning from a member, who has registered and released three books, such as Falsetto by Anne Rice, at the phone booth at Rushmoor Park.

Either way, this is a great way for people to read books and/or meet.

Note: You do not have to be a BookCrossing member to use this facility.
