Palermo Images, Part 1 (by Janice)

This part 1 of 2 blog entries shows buildings in Palermo Hollywood, a part of Buenos Aires.  The area is in transition, with charming older smaller dwellings situated among modern apartment buildings of several stories.



A few places, such as this one on the corner with the elaborate posts and gate, are more imposing and are heritage and definitely worth retaining. Few surfaces escape graffiti.


Pasaje Voltaire (above) is a 2-block long charming street with a cafe (below) at one end.  It is reminiscent of a village somewhere in Europe.

Now we know why this area is called Palermo Hollywood!  A film was being made as I walked by on this charming Pasaje Voltaire.
