PHANTOMS of PARIS: The Midnight Wanderers
On Monday, 14 May 2012
We all have it; that itch for exploring, to discover what’s behind the closed doors of our cities, under our feet and overhead.

You know there’s something seriously wrong with a generation when most of us don’t want to admit what we basically just are.

The New York Times have been doing some great things on their website and Tumblr recently, and coming across videos like this is a real treat for me.
