But she’s got charm. And stories.
Antique stores are crammed with curiosities, junk, and treasures—and maybe a few ghosts. (Avoid the area at night—not just because of the spooks.)
Ubiquitous hipster bands, sometimes; other times, an old man on a guitar like something out of a Picasso, ooze a drowsy tango soundtrack. It’s not all authentic and bohemian, but with the right camera lens and attitude it is still makes for lovely Sunday.
And often times, out of the corner of your eye, through the reflection of time-worn mirrors, or sea glass-colored bottles, you'll think you see something, something most peculiar that makes you want to do a double-take.
But when you look back it's always gone.
It's just that sort of place.

nice snapshots, though
another place i shall never go, probably, but thanks
to OS and the talent (like you) it attracts,
I can see the world through
the eyes of skilled observers...
what a line: "signs of its glamorous past like an old whore still instant upon wearing garters and French perfume. "
yikes!
...yeah, the old double take. Ghostly images. Real though!
You would know what I mean.

now i look at them and remember those gorgeous, skinny, long brown-haired girls licking ice-cream and sitting on the cracked steps of masterful old italian buildings in the hot sunshine
buenos aires is all about 'sweet decadence'
