a new downtown?what about the old one?
i have a kind of odd association with this one -- La Defense, a large cluster of modern skyscrapers ten minutes outside Paris, the only one of its kind in the region. Paris itself has almost no tall buildings, so coming into the city for the first time a lot of people see La Defense off in the distance and think it's "downtown Paris," even though it is actually nothing of the sort. (the other thing is how often people think the Eiffel Tower is the absolute dead center of Paris -- it's actually on the outskirts, next to a rather quiet neighborhood.)
The way they're building up the whole region, though, Paris will definitely be the next LA.

UFO in Sno
It was too cold for the little UFOs to step out into the snow. Funny that they chose to land in Boiceville...really more accurately described as "the site formerly known as Boiceville." Boiceville was a town (one of many) "felled"...
