What's the story with the window front gallery at 80 SGR?

Has anyone else noticed it? Just down from Petek, near the dentist, opposite one of the butchers.

The names and number of the women responsible are scribbled on the window too. Katja and ... hmm, I forget.

I'm curious, but not so curious that I'm going to give them a call.

I have seen this, and felt much the same velleity as regards further information.

That section is looking quite run down at the moment. The old bakery looks terrible and the beauty place looks like it has closed down. Venezia is still shining, though.

isn't that the needle exchange place?

Just discovered that's been shut for ages. Maybe it's a kind of community use. I might ask in the laundrette. I'm curious.

Good grief velleity is a fantastic word. I had to look it up.

Colette

So did I.
