A very first sign of the American recession

Newspapers worrying people. Taxi drivers complaining about the value of the dollar. Until now, that was about it. My experiences of the American recession.

I didn't see it in the price of the houses. (Excuse-me, a million dollar for a wooden flat?!)
I didn't see it on my bill at the organic supermarket.
And the city still seems to be consumers' heaven.

But this weekend, I discovered a small antique shop.
Guaranteeing his future.
In his own way.

Euros accepted now. And that says it all.
