Rue Houdon 1984 by bill barfield, on Flickr
I spent a week in a 6th floor walk-up hotel with a freezing bathroom down the hall on this street. I was also accosted by a Brazilian transsexual prostitute one evening
walking down this street. Gotta love Paris!

As you can see from this, and some of the other photos, le Marais was pretty rough in 1984.



224 Days...1999 by bill barfield, on Flickr
This was 224 days to Y2K. I went back for that...I just said "to hell with the Millennium Bug! There are worse places to be stuck if society collapses.
As soon as I saw Sydney's celebration on TV I knew there was nothing to worry about.
