Anthony Richardson is going to be a focus for fans who pay $5 for the privilege of watching five of the 12 training camp practices at Grand Park.

NOVEMBER  2023So, I just went from a small town near the Adriatic Sea up to Tirana, the capital city of the country. What a change! I'm fully embracing it and really enjoying it.I'm staying in a wonderful neighborhood called Blloku. The Blloku neighborhood is a vibrant area that has undergone significant transformation in recent years. Originally a restricted zone during the communist era, reserved for government officials and party elites, Blloku has evolved into a bustling hub of trendy cafes, restaurants, shops, and nightlife. It is now a symbol of Tirana's modernization and a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. The best part is that it's within walking distance to my favorite coffeeshops, my gym, and all the monuments you need to see!In this episode:Getting settled in TiranaBlloku neighborhoodPyramid of TiranaSkanderbeg SquareGrand Park TiranaWebsite  I  Instagram  I  Twitter  I  LinkedIn  I  YouTubeEmail: actorbobtapper@gmail.comAirbnbBook your stayBlloku NeighborhoodTiranë's hippest and most vibrant districtPyramid of TiranaA symbol of Albania's communist past.Skanderbeg SquareThe epicenter of Tirana, surrounded by some of the most important buildings of the country.Grand Park of TiranaGorgeous, green, family-friendly, and near the Lake!
