well, a lot of it is true... and a real change seems far away.

Marseille is extremely poor, extremely dirty and extremely expensive (taxes)..

And "Marseille 2013" has not really brought the change
our city so desperately need.

On top of that, it seems a lot of people don't want change
at all, but rather embrace mediocrity & cling on to their ultimate idea of freedom of "I do what I want, so fuck you"

Wow, I did not realize that dog shit was such a divisive issue.

My favorite line of the article: " For a while, the mafia ran the city; then the communists took over."

Is not Marseilles where Mick got a black eye from a thrown chair back in the sixties?

"Vingt deux heures. Ils sont là. Mick, avec des lunettes noires (il a été blessé la veille à Marseille. Les spectateurs ont lancé des chaises sur la scène ???)."

For the dog shit , don't you know that Paris got "Moto crottes "to clean that ,the concept bike was manufactured in USA !!!!!
