Actually, though this is vastly out of my price range, I am finding Paris apartments - decent 2/3 bedroom apartments in character-ful neighborhoods to be quite reasonable compared to the US.
One day, perhaps not so soon, I will buy one and live half the year there. 11414. marjoribanks - 9/17/2004 2:21:45 AM By the way, I like to look in the 17th which is the last (loved) Paris arrondisement in which I kept a (charming!) apartment.
The 7th, which is my first love, is not affordable on whims. 11415. alistairConnor - 9/17/2004 2:28:20 AM Well, I can go to Paris for the weekend whenever I want to. And I don't have to pay the real estate prices.
(The truth, of course, is that I don't. But I could.) 11416. Magoseph - 9/17/2004 2:35:06 AM I spent several years near Boulevard Exelmans and Rue Chanez in the XVIeme arrondissement. I never appreciated the area, its convenience, the Bois de Boulogne, and the beautiful spacious appartment. All I could think about during these years was about coming to this country and have a life not dependent upon anyone I knew then. 11417. judithathome - 9/17/2004 3:40:14 AM My friend wanted to move to the Marais district...about 13 years ago. He thought is was "unspoiled" then...have no idea if it is now. 11418. alistairConnor - 9/19/2004 5:05:18 PM Nah, all yuppied up now.
The middle of Paris is exceedingly gentrified. 11419. Magoseph - 9/20/2004 10:47:49 AM It's nice to be back so soon--thank you, moderators.
Hello, Mac. 11420. Macnas - 9/20/2004 11:09:33 AM Hello Mago. 11421. Magoseph - 9/20/2004 1:55:01 PM Local weather report from your hostess--We're having a wonderful Indian summer in Wisconsin. After a miserable spring and early summer with constant rains and sub-normal temperature followed by the worst mosquito plague in memory, everything has changed. The skies are blue, the foliage remains dark green, the daytime temperatures are in the 70's, and the humidity is low. It is the best time for us and we can hope it will prevail for a little while more.
11422. judithathome - 9/20/2004 2:09:16 PM Still hot here but not as bad as usual. 11423. Ms. No - 9/20/2004 5:20:16 PM Juditha,
I was talking with my mother recently and discovered that you had a milder summer in the Metroplex than we had here in Los Angeles.
It's my theory that all the tanning beds and aerosol hair products have given us our very own hole in the ozone directly overhead. 11424. judithathome - 9/20/2004 7:37:18 PM Yes, our summer was the mildest I can recall...only one day of 100° which, as you know, is positively freakish.
I fear we will pay for it this winter, though. 11425. PsychProf - 9/20/2004 7:44:03 PM Buy a snow shovel. 11426. judithathome - 9/20/2004 8:00:34 PM Ha! We already have one! We bought it when we lived in Maine. Keoni uses it to shovel leaves from piles into the leaf bags...people stop and ask him where he got "that big shovel". 11427. Ms. No - 9/20/2004 8:20:32 PM Unfortunately what you generally get in the Dallas area is ice rather than snow.
I remember a huge ice storm that we had the year the Pompeii exhibit came to town....or it might have been King Tut. Funny that I can remember the ice and having to hike into the apartment complex from the road --- the streets had been cleared but not the parking lots so it was about 1/2 a mile in, but I can't remember which exhibit it was that we saw that day. 11428. judithathome - 9/20/2004 9:28:09 PM I thought the Tut exhibit was only in New Orleans...I mean, only as close as there to us. 11429. Magoseph - 9/20/2004 9:46:48 PM I believe it was in Dallas. I have a faint memory of wanting to see it there. 11430. judithathome - 9/20/2004 9:58:47 PM Must have been there while I was out of the country. I know the first Tut exhibit was in New Orleans because my friend went and I was very envious...this was in my former life; if I'd been married to Keoni at the time, he'd have taken me! 11431. Ms. No - 9/20/2004 10:09:44 PM The more I think about it the more I believe it was the Pompeii exhibit.
