Spending it up in Geneva

Article Abstract:

The Rue du Rhone remains one of the places to go to for shopping in Geneva, Switzerland. However, majority of the carriage-type businesses that have mushroomed along the kilometer-long street claim that business has recently been affected by recession, parking complaints, city ordinances, unwelcome new neighbors, and other recent developments. While low-budget shops abound in the area, such big names as Patek Philippe, Lacoste, Escada, Dior, Chanel and Gucci seem to have found a permanent home in Rue du Rhone.
