RE: Some things are built to last
I do recall the movie by Antonioni's - Blow-up. It was an exceptional film. Lots of london does still look like the Dickensian street scene. You just have to know where to look.
The Brutalist movement was very powerful in the 1960's and to find them in Romania still today as well, does not surprise me at all. They have mostly been demolished in the UK but some people still like them as a form of architecture?
I'm sure there are many streets, buildings like the Dickensian street scene. Is it called tradition or conservatism?
I guess they just survived somehow, the bombing during the war, the slum clearances. The various waves of people migrating always ended up in this area. It is now host to the most recent wave of migrants...the Hipsters!
Wow! I was afraid you were talking about the Romanians. You must know that many of those who say they are Romanians ... are not even Romanians!
Ha ha I'm sure there are a few 'Hipster' Romanians where you are? Can't say that I have met any Romanians as I don't usually ask people what their nationality is as it's irrelevant to me. I'm a citizen of the world as you are too. :-)
Thank you! I think the same.
