SUGGESTED ANSWER

For a long time, the neighborhood between Victory Square and "Lupoaică" has been a decorative
and peaceful area. It was born on a piece of land - Bonaparte Park - located on the outskirts of
the city, therefore in a spacious, quiet area, very attractive to the prosperous bourgeoisie who
wanted picturesque and comfortable houses. After the revolution, the proximity to the Government
building suddenly turned the area into a turbulent backdrop of street politics. I have the misfortune
of living across the street from an establishment, "Saga," which at first seemed like a decent
experiment. Things have deteriorated rapidly, with large gang parties organized, weddings
scheduled, and music played. Loudly. Deafeningly. Shamelessly. For about a year, I've been
listening every evening, along with a multitude of terrified neighbors, to the same tapes of
Armstrong and Pavarotti (who have, of course, become odious in this way).
