Gypsy House

This pink slum dwelling, located not very far from Daugavpils iela, is home for several Gypsy families or clans.
There is no secret that one of the major Gypsy businesses is drug dealing.
So, what do you think, what this three men street gang is waiting for?

I feel atmosphere...incredible shot!
Photos like this one are important to show. Sometimes, we need to think about reality and how many different realities there are in our current cities.

Interesting perspective of Riga. Im going to visit the city in a few months. But I suppose just the touristic places.

Very provocative photo! My wife visited Riga back in May 1991. Great photos to view through your blog. Greetings from Minnesota, USA
I think you are giving wrong impression about Maskavas forstates area because it's very good place to visit and statistically its even safer than Old town especially for tourists. I,m living there for 3 years and I never had any problems there. It's all in peoples heads. Sure there are some dealing going on, but if you know city well enough you will find even more places in Stabu street for example.
