On a Friday last month on my favorite street (Mutanabbi) in Baghdad. I asked the bookseller how old he was and he said "between 80 and 90." Mutanabbi is the historic center of Baghdad bookselling, a street filled with bookstores and outdoor book stalls.
If New York has Chinatown and Little Italy, then Istanbul has "French Street" (Fransız Sokağı). "Rue Franaise", with tented buildings, street musicians, cafés, bars and art centers, opened in summer of 2004. The street behind Galatasaray High School known as Cezayir (Algeria) Street was completely renovated from head to toe by a group lead by Mehmet Taşdiken within the scope of a two-year project. The buildings and sidewalks were improved and a special music system was established. Taşdiken had close contacts with the Municipality of Paris, so the stones of the street were arranged by Parisian architects, and 100-year-old coal-gas street lamps from the Municipality of Paris were installed. Mehmet Taşdiken says "the French have a very important legacy in Beyoğlu. Most of the establishments of Beyoğlu, such as the first cafés and first movie theaters, were established by the French in the 19th century and the buildings on the left of Cezayir Street bear the signature of French engineer-contractor Marius Michel, who lived in Istanbul between 1890 and 1910 and built the Karaköy and Eminöndocks." Fransız Sokağı has a covered area of 9,000 square meters and a capacity of 3000 people together with the open-air areas. The number of daily visitors is around 6.500. The heaters on the streets allow the open areas to be used even on cold days. Various establishments in two-three story buildings have turned Fransız Sokağı, formerly Cezayir Sokak or Hayriye Cıkmazı, into a 7-day-a-week live culture and entertainment center, with cafés, restaurants, street concerts and artists, and an art gallery.

One of the many narrow, winding streets in the medieval town of Peillon, France. Peillon is a picturesque fortified village about 15 miles north of Nice, France. The village is perched on top of a high narrow rocky peak, with the compact collection of stone houses, narrow streets, vaulted passages, and sometimes steep stairs. The area has been inhabited since the Iron Age age and the first fortifed town was built on the site near the end of the 10th Century. Most of the current buildings date from the 19th Century, but a few date from the 17th Century. Peillon sits on top of a narrow peak about three miles from the Peillon-Saint Thecle SNCF train station (which houses a small railroad museum open during the summer months). The uphill walk to the town take a little over an hour following the road to town or a hiking path through the countryside. Unlike many other medieval towns in the area, Peillon is an authentic town which is not oriented towards tourists. There are not souvenir shops or other tourist-oriented facilities. The only amenities are one restaurant inside the town and two more in the auberges just outside the town.

The 1970s had a unique vitality and aesthetic imprint unlike any other decade before or since. Jack Garofalo (1923-2004), an accomplished street photographer for Paris Match magazine, spent the summer of 1970 documenting the vibrant life of Harlem, a neighborhood that was undergoing an existential crisis at the time.
