Also. What’s up with the “Boulevard” thing?

Is there no “M.L.K Jr. Street? Way? Circle?

I’ll have to look into this.

[RummyChick]

this has to be many miles away from the tower

Looks like the Trocadero where the soldiers are.

Actually I think that is the same spot where Hitler had his photo taken when the German conquered France.

Yes, that’s the very popular Trocadero (Metro stop) viewing plaza.

It is sorta Paris’ equivalent of the WTC, or Seattle’s Columbia Tower.

PARIS (Reuters) - Paris police cleared tourists out of the Eiffel Tower on Friday evening, then said it had been a false alarm.

France is on high alert after a string of militant attacks, most recently last week’s murder of a priest in Normandy.

**I am not worried about being “safe.”**

You brought it up.

**I am well traveled and always alert, but I don’t spend my time dwelling on safety.**

As am I. As a matter of fact I was in Europe just a couple months ago.

**Why would I be “safer” 25 feet from you than I am right now here in France?**

Because I once took an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Like many here I carry and will protect all of those around me from evil.

I have family visiting that damn continent right now. I wish they just stayed home.

I am not sure I would go there today even if someone paid me to do it.

My daughter wants to go either to Australia or Europe for a year of study.

There is NO way she is going to Europe.

You'd think the tourism industry would put some pressure on the politicians; it would be interesting to see some statistics on how many people are visiting Europe now compared to before.

What kind of moron leaves any backpack or luggage in a public place in this age of terrorism???

Either a total moron, or else maybe a dry run, terrorists testing and observing police response??
