They also had a plane hanging. No not a SBD Dauntless but more like a remake of a Mig-15.

Abasto de Buenos Aires

Abasto is mainly a big shopping mall. When i went it was extremely quiet. I've seen crowded before and that is not fun. Inside you have an extraordinary curved ceiling. Further there is a plaza with many fast food restaurants including a Kosher McDonalds. I never knew those existed. But i know why. This area is also an area where many orthodox jews live. And as you know their dressing doesn't go unnoticed by most. Their are also facilities for children to play. Neverland for example. And there is a cinema.

Making pictures in Abasto is not permitted except for panoramic views. Making pictures in general in the city is not easy. They are too much on security. A bit paranoid if u ask me. If you want to read history about the Abasto go here.

Finally made it through a side street. This street has typical stores, a lot about Carlos Gardel the tango phenomenon. There is also a statue of him in that street (see picture 2 from internet). Didn't get a picture of my own because there were folks hanging around it and they were not planning to leave. This statue and the building next to it is a popular tourist attraction. I mentioned Carlos in an earlier post. See here.

More pictures i will keep for tomorrow. This will be inside the Abasto.

The typical Abasto form from a distance. This is from Avenida Corrientes now. Yes, that is the same one that crosses the Obelisk. Second picture is from the Abasto facade much closer and comes from the internet. I took another entrance. See next post.
