WHERE I ONCE WORKED.....


I've been absent a few days, editing my photos from a recent trip. No new local Belgrade shots!  I'll be going to Paris for ten days beginning of December and will visit some of my old haunts.  I think the most impressive place I ever worked was the First National City Bank on the Champs-Elysees. I had a job that literally paid peanuts, but the surroundings.... The building was built in 1930 but now houses a gallery of boutiques...sad.  Below is the main entrance in the background and the staircase leading to the first floor. To use my grandmother's expression, "If I had a nickel for every time I...." I'd be rich. And I remember on occasion accompanying someone down in the 'basement' where the bank's huge vault stood. READ ABOUT THE VAULT HERE  and have a laugh.
