General description

It started as a gloomy nightmare...

All was grey, dirty, sad and ugly.

Buildings - like ghosts - were waiting for their prey...

Walking in the streets would cause a terrible depression...

But then, the REVOLUTION came.

Grey changed into red, blue and green!

Old bricks were put together again!

REVITALISED buildings regained their beauty and might!

People crowded into the streets to witness the change!

Do YOU want to see the outcome?

Do YOU want to know this story better?
