Vintage Beirut

Torn curtains. Faded colors. Worn walls.

Vintage is a word that embodies the ancient and decrepit; clothing, trends, antique furniture and buildings that fall apart. Those buildings, like the one tweeted by @mirahamadeh, fit in a special category of vintage all their own. They reflect eras long forgotten, wars long fought and periods when gentlemen were gentleman and class actually existed.

Back when vintage was actually vintage and not just a hipster’s collectibles. Don’t you miss those days?
