Neighborhood Navigator: The Gazi District of Athens Greece
In the last five years, the Gazi District has turned into the hottest area in central Athens. The irony? The Gazi District was once the site of the city’s gasworks, which blanketed much of the area with soot. The grime long gone and newly installed central square and metro stop gave new life to an old relic. Today, the streets are lined with bars, restaurants and cafes.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
