The Street is a Gallery

13th arondissementIt’s a long schlep for me to get to Tang Frères in the 13th, but I do it every now and then because it’s the best place to find many of the ingredients you need for Asian cooking and the prices for meat really can’t be beat. Seriously — the butcher near me had chicken parts for sale the other day at more than 11 euros a kilo. At Tang Frères, it’s just 3 and change. 

I took a different route the other day, getting off the 83 bus at rue Baudricourt and came across this building. I didn’t see an artist’s signature and I can’t find any other explanation. Just a nice unexpected lift to an otherwise dreary afternoon.

    I love Tang Freres. I’m going to miss going there every Sunday to stock up on “exotic” fruits for the week. I get the feeling that “true Parisians” never get tired of apples, oranges, and pears. :-\

    That’s something I’ve noticed about France. There is a lot more graffiti. It makes for great photography. I have some pretty nice pictures of Parisian graffiti as well as in Lille on my blog!
