A Corner Cafe

This photo has recently been the "victim" of some minor "controversy" on a somewhat rival blog. Said blog, which I'll not name, focuses on the negative aspects of Johannesburg. The owner, who has been out of the country for a number of years, and who abandoned his blog for a year, somehow thinks he is in the know as to the current state of Joburg.

The issue he had was that it is all very well and good that the above building was restored, but that the building next to it was not. He posted a photo of the building next to it and proceeded to mock the apparent sad attempt of some of his readers to point out the truth to him. In the process of being so closed-minded he completely and utterly missed the point of the photo. As I've mentioned before, it's a given that Johannesburg is far from in a perfect state, but the fact of the matter is that the restorations and new additions are proceeding at a pace that exceeds that of the deteriorations. In simple English this means that the city is getting it's act together and I will support my claim 100% with photos and information.
