However the rents aren't necessarily cheap so it's difficult for the neighborhood to compete with some other areas of Paris.<br /><br />Great photo as well, I love old style lamps!TresFrenchhttp://www.tresfrench.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-82898324267590189202009-06-26T23:39:38.355+02:002009-06-26T23:39:38.355+02:00Safe trip, Monica.

Of course, having lived in New Orleans, in my mind's eye whenever I see an old lantern or lamppost I imagine a sax player cranking out some tunes underneath. But hey, with my name, you've probably guessed I'm partial to sax players. ;-) Also, I agree with Jeff that this photo is symbolic of lights going out. Two excellent entertainers...may they RIP.
