Aleppo, Syria

Enter here. It's a gateway to centuries past, a tabeau vivant of everyday life, a temple to free enterprise, a megaphone for the street, and a shopping mall grander than any galleria. What lies beyond are the covered suqs of Aleppo. Now let me re-write that in past tense. The suqs were set ablaze when the Syrian uprising came to Aleppo. [1995]
