History

Le Soleil ("The Sun") was founded in 1973 by Rolande Bisserth, originally on 10th Avenue between 57 - 58th Streets in an area called Bois Verna, named after a neighborhood in Port-au-Prince known for its ancient latticed houses, where New York's version once boasted bookstores, churches, cafés, and bodegas called petit magasins.[12]

Its decor entails colorful primitive-style tropical landscapes decorated on peach-colored walls above brown wainscoting.[12]

gollark: Nope, pretty sure that's fixed.
gollark: There is also ESNI now, or whatever they renamed it to. I will be deploying this once it makes it way into mainline nginx.
gollark: Your `apt` commands are futile, because btw I use arch.
gollark: HSTS was designed to stop MITM attacks from just downgrading you to HTTP.
gollark: .dev is on the HSTS preload list. Modern browsers will refuse HTTP connections to it and do HTTPS instead. It won't affect nonbrowsers.
