  • Descrição: Head into the so-called centro (the location of the actual geographic center of the city is debatable), and you'll find plenty of patrician, Haussmannian architecture and urban planning, which reflected the confidence of early twentieth-century porteños that Argentina was and would remain one of the great powers. Here, economic migrants have, with remarkable ingenuity and fortitude, built up their own improvised architecture based around breeze blocks, corrugated iron, and precarious, not-verylegal connections to the city's utilities. Leila Guerriero remembers the shock and fascination of coming to the big city; Matías Serra Bradford's elegy to the bookshops of the city reminds us why Borges thought it so appropriate to locate the Aleph in one of the city's mysterious basements; Ana Ojeda takes us on a wild bike ride through the city's streets; Oliverio Coelho shares his love of another major cultural and familial pastime, going to watch football; Cecilia Pavón mines one of the city's quintessential pleasures, sitting in cafés, for inspiration; Julia Kornberg's tour of Once shows how richly meaningful (and frustratingly problematic) even simple errands can be in this city; Liliana Viola tells the story of the city's now-massive Pride parade; Daniel Tunnard remembers his experience exploring one of Buenos Aires's most cherished institutions, the extraordinarily comprehensive and colorful twenty-four-hour public bus service; and Matías Capelli's own two-wheeled journey is more contemplative but just as evocative (and also pretty much passes my old house).
