http://pics.livejournal.com/whasup/pic/00wsftaw

  The north side of the Ringplatz. Now missing - bombed out.
  In the old times bustling with all kind of people.
   Mostly jewish it seems .
    What exactly do they do ?
   They " Dreien sich arim."
    In Yiddish" dreien" means to turn.
     Dreien sich - is the reflexive form : turn themselves.
     "Arim "means about .
    So the closest we get is: They turn themselves about.
     How did you make a living from this ?
      In Czernowitz you did.
        Today the place is dominated by the Shevchenko statue.
        Lots of tourists, lots of beggars , lots of dollars .
         What do they do ?
          " Dreien sich arim".
