DjennÈ, Mali. Monday, November 22, 2010: DjennÈ is on the Unesco World Heritage list but the demands to preserve the mud and brick architecture as it has been for centuries clashes with the desire for residents to live in larger and more modern homes. It is ultimately a clash between tourists looking for something authentic and Malian residents not wanting to feel like they live in a museum. The town, which sits on an island in the Bani River, lacks basic infrastructure like sewage and garbage removal, prompting a warning from UN officials that it could be removed from the World Heritage list. Residents feel the UN should play a greater role in bringing improvements to the town. DjennÈís Grande MosquÈe (Great Mosque) is the largest mud-built structure in the world.

Hey, nice columns. One of the light fixtures is missing its globe.

Four bollards protect the occupants from drunk drivers (good) but the awning is getting ready to collapse (bad). "New," reads the clear neon tube ahead of Good Deals.
Go in and badger the proprietor with detailed questions about the company's business model, and the respective provenances of the items of furniture. Nah I'm just kidding, leave him alone.
