Rockin' the Casbah



My new neighborhood is Arab. There's a Mosque across the street and about 20 hookah cafes down the next 3 blocks. I see women in headscarves all the time. Tonight, I went to the kebab place on my corner that is open till 4 a.m. and got a burger. A guy with corn rows walks in, lays his German WWI military helmet (for his motorcycle) on the counter and orders in Arabic. Outside, an older Egyptian (guessing) cabby shouts hello's to his buddy's as The Scorpions blast from his car stereo.

Welcome to the jungle baby.

(The pic is of the 80's German glam-rock band, The Scorpions, for those too old or young to recognize.)
