Demolition day!
... doivent faire fortune depuis!) font d'ailleurs leur pub en affichant sur leur panneaux de réclame le nombre de maisons et bâtiments qu'elles ont déjà reconstruit!
Bref, la ville est en partie ravagée et cela se voit. On se croit, alors que l'on passe dans cette zone, dans une ville détruite par la guerre (pas que l'on ait vu souvent!). Cela donne une impression de zone, de banlieue saccagée, taguée... On aperçoit dans certains magasins effondrés tout les ...
