Building at Caballito













And now, a slightly different post. Tres Arroyos and Espinosa (?). No door or opening on the corner, but a beautiful building at Caballito. Still standing! Location Here. Image updated Dec. 2008.

Future unknown












Yatay and Guardia Vieja. The door/window at the corner has been closed. Note the heavy modifications on the windows of the ground floor. Nov. 2008.

Why I do this (pt.2)












This shop has closed. The fate of this corner is still unknown. Corrientes and Yatay, Nov. 2008.

Why I do this?












This is why. A dead house. We cannot figure out what was there (at least without some research). Yatay an Humahuaca (?), this morning, Nov. 14th, 2008.

UPDATE: This is how it looked in 2005/2006
