House of Culture - Podoima

A two-storey, bare cultural centre that was recently renovated and repainted. A frieze of incised geometric ornament (the bottom half representing corn?) decorates the top. Podoima is the region’s tomato capital, hosting the “Podoima & Podoymica” tomato festival, explaining the giant model tomato in the lawn: https://pridnestrovie-tourism.com/en/doings/tomato-festival-podoima-podoymica/. See also the nearby Stele of the "Grigorii I. Kotovsky" Kolkhoz for more information. It reminds me of the massive apricot in the middle of the roundabout in central Isfara, Tajikistan.
