Объяснение:
Tverskaya is the main street of Moscow, and this is where I live. The first sidewalks appeared here, the first horse-drawn tram was launched, and the electrification of street lamps began from Tverskaya. There are many cars, cafes, restaurants and, of course, people everywhere. There are also many bus stops and shops: a flower shop, a grocery store and a small supermarket. We can see many interesting places, and one of them is the Hotel Dresden. Surgeon Nikolai Pirogov, writers Ivan Turgenev, Nikolai Nekrasov, Alexander Ostrovsky, Anton Chekhov have repeatedly stayed here. The street itself is long and wide. And in spring this street is especially beautiful, because of the flowering trees and many flowers.
