[Leica] [OM] Nathan's PAD 19/6/2017: Rue de la Longue Vie (Long Life Street)

[Douglas Barry]

I agree with Philippe. What makes it is the aggressive north african guy 
giving you the finger juxtaposed with the relaxed and happy atmosphere 
of the rest of the image. Did he get up to go for you?

I lived here for a few months when I first moved from New Jersey to Brussels. In the summer, it is a wonderful place, with many bars and ethnic restaurants and shops. There are some vague signs of hipsters moving in, but so far they have been kept in check.

I have eated at both Soleil d’Afrique on the left and Cap Africa on the right. I prefer the latter, and that is where I had a delicious dinner of grilled goat and fermented tapioca dough last night:
