The Weekend in Black and White

This is the Passage Bourg l'Abbé, in Paris's
2nd arrondissement.  These covered streets are a
godsend on a rainy or freezing cold day (as this one was).
Some passages have fallen on hard times; some have
been renovated and feature mostly high-end boutiques.
This one has excellent "bones" and lovely
old woodwork—I think it's ripe for gentrification.
