You read that correctly. That's what Nick has named the street we live on. In the first 4 weeks we were here, there have been 4 protests that have marched down the street in front of the apartment. Unfortunately, the first 2 happened when I was at work, so I missed them. For the 3rd one, I was coming out of the Metro stop when I heard a lot of voices. The protest had congregated around the one Metro stop right near our apartment. Yes, I walked out into the middle of the protest. I had people talking to me in French and trying to get me to take some flyers. I just ducked and got out of there.
For the 4th one, I was actually home when we heard voices shouting. We ran out to the balcony and saw the largest protest we've seen by far. It looked like 4 protests merged into one that went 2 to 3 city blocks. One was teachers, one was court workers... I have no idea what the other 2 were.
Here they come...
And there they go...
There was yelling, chanting, and a lot of music playing through loudspeakers.
Hence, we live on The Street of Yelling.
