- netsharc 8y agoAnd uhm, wtf kinda copy and paste is it. If you think that photo is the same corner as it is today, hah, no. It's not the corner where the man had his shoe shined, it's just some other random piece of road. It's not even the picture from the Independent article. What the ????.
- ghaff 8y agoThe Wikipedia article [1] suggests that area of Paris has significantly changed since that photo was taken. I suspect that corner doesn't exist as such any more. (It's probably under the Place de la Republique.) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boulevard_du_Temple https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boulevard_du_Temple
- netsharc 8y agoI was bored and tried to find an old map of Paris, you're right, that street corner is now under the Place (if the info in the Wikipedia article is accurate). https://bibliotheques-specialisees.paris.fr/ark:/73873/pf0000856594/v0001.simple.selectedTab=record https://bibliotheques-specialisees.paris.fr/ark:/73873/pf000...
