Every town IMHO has some 'dark' areas, but not in every town they are that exposed.<br />Can't imagine living in such conditions - either in eternal darkness (I so much NEED light), either exposed to prying glimpses.

Can you imagine the racket the people in those apartments would have? <br /><br />Kippy, I was briefly less than amused *laugh* but yes, it was well spotted and funny. You see now what I meant?<br /><br />Bert! The blog is meant to be family friendly! Actually, I found no photos of those in my search. Perhaps others are also leery of hauling cameras around while they're out. Keep in mind, those ladies and lady-wannabes have protectors.~° Tint °~http://tintalasia.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695149.post-46994793167880522482011-02-10T04:06:45.000+00:002011-02-10T04:06:45.000+00:00Facinating story, Interesting.
