    Street which crosses the city from Iasi to Barlad, is a very bad state, I almost broke my car there. Culmea this happens only in the segment of road in the city. Besides the city state road back to something reasonable. This is proof of local interest for the mayor's own image. Sin ... I wish I contrazica May incolo someone, but I hope it is not in 2100.

    Declarat municipiul in 1979, Vasluiul a fost reconstruit din temelii, ramanand foarte putine cladiri vechi (Tribunalul, Palatul Mavrocordat, Biserica Sfantul Ioan).

    "Din pacate, in prezent, este un oras fara forta economica, cele doua platforme industriale (unde in 1990 lucrau zeci de mii de oameni) "Rediu"si "Moara Grecilor"" fiind astazi pustii!
