I was in a small cafe when a motorcycle gang(?) came in, ate, and left. I was sitting at a counter right near the cash register and asked one of the big brutes if they were "like the Hell's Angels in the States." Apparently he was offended because he responded with a litany of mostly profanity, which I didn't understand, before storming out. Escaped with my life, I did.Catalysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804837416104556928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669721126705732069.post-70978081289960231372017-11-30T20:07:30.303-05:002017-11-30T20:07:30.303-05:00Joni and Neil both my favorites, how wonderful tha...Joni and Neil both my favorites, how wonderful that must have been.

I am not about to start buying $1,000 shoes or anything from Chanel. There is a common life cycle neighborhoods go through from inexpensive, rundown areas to residents and studios of artists to hip areas to gentrification. The trick is to know what areas might go through this process and buy real estate early on. It is one way to make a fortune.
