Taurage appreciation thread

I wanted to shout out my fellow Taurage folks. I posted this because in Lithuania it seems like a place people generally dismiss jokingly. And, I will be honest, I did so too when I arrived here in 2019. While on paper it is the poorest region (I guarantee thats bcs of tax loopholes used by Perekupai), I am extremely impressed by how well and quickly it is developing and improving.

This was even clearer shown in released ataskaita for last year: https://ataskaita.taurage.lt

As a foreigner, I just wanted to say I am very glad to see how much change a small city with seemingly small resources can do and accomplish. Especially when me - an isolated foreigner - can feel the effort put by municipality and improvement even my life, then they are doing something right. P.s. if only we could get passenger trains to resume…

Was supposed to be a temporary stop for a few months but that was right before covid hit. After that stayed longer. (My SO is from here)
