Reply to "Farewell Charming Old New York: Part 3"

Michael,
That is a scarey article! But to tell you the truth, the Champs Elysees has always been somewhat disreputable. It was the very first place in Paris to have a McDonald's restaurant.

And going back yet further, one of its most expensive, elegant buildings, now used as a bank, (dozens of types of marble inside and out, incredibly luxe) was built for a fat, ugly, very sexy courtesan by her extremely rich German patron. It's always been rich and sleazy!!
De Gaulle's parades notwithstanding.

Love, S'tan
