“I didn't set fire to Assan’s Mill!” -
the Morning Moon told me.
George Assan was an Aromanian man who in the 1850s created the first steam mill in Bucharest, an impressive edifice which (people say) was sabotaged in the 1990s by "real estate sharks”, who also set it on fire in the 2010s.
But today, even if it is only a ruin, the silhouette of the mill continues to remain lofty.
“I didn't set fire to Assan’s Mill!” -
the Noon Sun told me.
