Following-up to the post about trendy stores coming into San Telmo is this photo of the words “This is not Palermo” scrawled on the wall of the new Puma store just off Defensa.

See a previous post about real estate in San Telmo for a stencil on the same topic.
Meanwhile, also spotted in San Telmo was this scribble on a wall along Defensa with the reminder: Let’s treat the tourists well.

I read an article in Perfil about the new San Telmo that someones call it “San Telmo Telmo” in order with names like Palermo Hollywood or Palermo Soho.

I suspect we’re going to be having all sorts of names for sections of San Telmo….I’m wondering what my area of San Telmo down near Parque Lezama will be called?…perhaps something classy to hide the fact that it’s so close to the “dangerous” barrios of Boca & Barracas.
