Normal for Norway

Imagine our confusion when we realized Indigo (I'll take the blame) had ranked Nydalen so highly on the list. But maybe there is more than meets the eye? And in news: Norway is still (at the time of recording) in the world cup and bagel shops are going bust in Oslo.

It's time for a neighborhood that holds a dear place in our hearts: St. Hanshaugen, where we first kindled our friendship! This former rocky, uninhabited trash heap is now a gorgeous and thriving place to live, and we've got mostly positive things to say. Plus, a bit about Bislett.
On the news: why are doctors getting paid to keep us at work? Which street was flooded with sewage? And, a personal news announcement! 👀

Is it Majorstuen or Majorstua? And what does Frogner actually mean? Two of Oslo's posher neighborhoods get their day in the sun--but did we let them off easy?

On the news: where to go in an emergency, building density, and an update to Seamus's investigation into why our local grocery stores are so sad.

Can Sentrum even be called a neighborhood? According to the city, no! And we concur, because it's got very little going for it. But why is that? And who lives there besides rats?
We've also got news about an alcohol robbery and a pollen warning.
Stay tuned for our ongoing neighborhood rankings!

Next up on the Oslo neighborhood chopping block: we return to Carl Berners plass and discuss what it has to offer besides a squareabout. Indigo learns how bingo works, and we share a snow crab update, as well as concerning news from podiatrists.
