They have some nice geraniums.
This just grabbed my attention... this whole neighborhood, but really this one storefront in particular, has the feel of something that's been here since the mid-to-late 19th century. Something that's seen other neighboring buildings come and go, but has itself stood throughout. There's a sense of disjointedness here, of isolation, anachronism, and abandonment. While normally I'm an advocate for traditional buildings, and for maintaining that which bears the character, the air, the style of a time gone by - and don't get me wrong, I support keeping this too - somehow I have the feeling in this particular case, of a building, or an area or a neighborhood that was left behind; a place that history, progress, forgot about.
This store is actually in Galena, and though I've never been to Brazil, I imagined such a store has a twin down there somewhere, I can imagine this place buzzing with life during the worldcup, as it is it doesn't look like anyone has opened the door since the last world cup :-). Not to sure on my composition, maybe a bit flat, but I wanted the straight on shot, just not sure I pulled it off.

I remember this shop from the first time I visited Cambridge - was that with Majella in 2008? Don't quite recall...
But, it's one of the main places to get your official school robes, and boy is it expensive.

After school, these children look after their family store, a small stall selling everything from laundry detergent to candy.

After being delayed in the little river valley town of Ryegate, Robert and I finally headed north, up up over the mesa and on to the beautiful flat table lands that overlook the Big Snowy Mountains. It was an amazing view! Everything was so open and free. We sped towards Franklin Montana. Franklin isn't really a town. Oh it was at one time but now it's a small cluster of run down buildings. Isn't the leaded glass in this classic false front beautiful? I would love to explore this place!
Franklin was once a a station on the Great Northern line between Great Falls and Billings, Franklin had a post office that was active 1910-1953. -Postmarks from Montana on flickr.com
The tiny town of Geraldine is very well kept and pretty! We came rolling through at sunset after a long, dry, hot day driving through some very barren, dusty areas of the state. The first place we saw in town was the tiny town park, and the sound of rushing water met our ears. The park has a lovely stream flowing through it. It was a breath of fresh air for us--weary travelers :) I also am partial to the town because of it's name--my dad's mom was named Geraldine.
"Geraldine is the center of a huge wheat-producing region. It was named for Almira Geraldine Rockefeller (or perhaps her daughter, Ethel Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge), the wife of William Rockefeller, who was the director of the Milwaukee Railroad, which ran through the town; the name was bestowed with the friendly sanction of the Rockefeller family. It had no particular significance to the town. (from Cheney's Names on the Face of Montana, Mountain Press Publishing Company)
The Geraldine Milwaukee Depot, built in 1913, is a great example of one of America's small-town, turn-of-the-century wooden depots. It has a unique design and was given special attention since the town's namesake, Geraldine Rockefeller, was the daughter of the principal Milwaukee stockholder, William A. Rockefeller. The exterior has been fully restored, and the building is located on its original site next to the still active short-line Central Montana Railroad. Displays document the role of railroad played in developing the large agricultural area, and include a freight room and ticket/express office." -centralmontana.com

El Raval is the neighborhood in Barcelona directly opposite the Gothic Quarter across La Rambla.
Technically, also part of the Old City, this is the area that, until recently, was the part of town you did not want to visit...especially at night.
There was a lot of crime, drugs, prostitution, etc. (There are still lots of prostitutes around the heart of El Raval; sometimes it seemed more prostitutes than people.)
El Raval is the area where the immigrants and poorer classes lived, and it's gentrifying a little bit. (That is to say, while it's still not 100% safe -- what place is? -- it's safer, and you can wander around to have a look.)
There are also some interesting places to visit in the neighborhood. The most famous is Gaudi's Palau Guell in the lower part of the neighborhood. It's only a 2 minute walk off La Rambla.
The MACBA (contemporary art museum) is also in El Raval in a large, shiny building with a pretty big plaza in front of it popular with skateboarders.
There are plenty of bodegas, cafes, stores, etc. -- all you need to live -- in El Raval.
El Raval also has its own separate Rambla (though nowhere near as nice as the more famous one about 5-10 minutes' walk just east of here. La Rambla del Raval doesn't have the same cozy feel, though it's still a nice place to relax.
There are a few other hidden gems in El Raval...courtyards, plazuelas, the former hospital where Gaudi died after being struck by a streetcar. (He was struck by a street car on 7 June 1926 and died at the Old Hospital de la Santa Creu three days later.)
The last place to note here is La Boqueria (Mercat St. Josep La Boqueria), which is in the upper part of El Raval with its main entrance facing La Rambla (the popular one).
