Taganrog - town I'm living

Taganrog is a small cozy town located on the shores of the Sea of Azov. Taganrog is small on russian standarts. Its population is approximately 280,000 inhabitants. Taganrog is the second largest town in the Rostov region (after Rostov-on-Don). Here is a lot of industries, such as aviation factory, car factory producing Hundai automobiles, ironworks and many others. Taganrog is also a spa resort for Russian people, as well as it located near the sea and much southern then most territory of Russia. So in summer, we have a lot of turist from northern regions of Russia, which mainly spend time on the beaches. Many town natives don't like the sea so much and frankly I am among them. And they don't appreciate it because the sea starting to get colored in green in early July because of small in-water green algae. So swimming in such a water is not very pleasant. This is due to the fact that we have not a deep sea, although there are some benefits - it is very comfortable swim with little children. Recently, the city has become much cleaner and more beautiuful. Although historically in Taganrog cottage was dominating, recently high-rise buildings was build in town, and even created a new district, which consists entirely of them.
