Goodbye Lou


Lou Reed in The Factory, 1967, photo: Andy Warhol

..and thanks for all those endless hours ruining my pickups with your music. I keep in memory that night at the Lisbon Expo, September 23, 1998. I could name so many of your albums - and songs, like "Rock n' Roll Animal", "Take No Prisoners"....but I prefer few words, so..

"it's such a perfect day, I'm glad I spent it with you"

  Estrada de Benfica, 715

Sapataria Saul, without competition, the most "chic" shop in Benfica for decades. Unfortunately (like many other shops across the city), it is showing signs of decay. The outside neon signs are out of order.
Closed 2024....
