I was going through my photos from September to see if I had anything to share with you. I found this perspective of these side-by-side buildings on the 800 block of Av de Mayo…two shining examples of the city’s architectural heritage.

Earlier this week I was giving Donald, a faithful blog reader and new friend from New York, a walking tour of Flores. We took the A line out to Caballito, then walked down Yerbal into Flores. Yerbal is one of my favorite streets in that area, filled with a number of nice homes as you can see in the photo below. That entire block is beautiful with one obvious exception. This is a good example for the City that Fades Away series.

Clean streets, charming houses, shady trees….

I suspect that most people would never guess the right answer: La Boca.

I’m keeping the exact name of the street to myself.
