Dirty Underbelly of the Arrondissement


I’ve been running around my neighborhood a lot, and now I understand why people don’t sneer at me when I tell them what section of town I live in. The rest of the 14th is actually really beautiful; high-quality restaurants and stores line the wide sidewalks bustling with business people. My neighborhood is barely within the border of the 14th, and about a block away from me all of the well-maintained facades are replaced with run-down Chinese restaurants and struggling local vegetable stands. There’s no place like home.
