I have to be honest that the city is actually more run-down than it looks in the photos. It must have been incredibly gorgeous in it's prime (in the 1940s), when the buildings were new and there was money to keep the streets swept and the sidewalks repaired. So many of the buildings here are amazing inside and out - marble stairs, wood floors, granite countertops, high ceilings, crown moulding, stained glass windows, decorative carved stone on the fronts of houses....Amazing!! But also aging and in need of repair.
So, in no particular order...
The house across the street - if you click on the photo, you can see the beautiful carvings...
PINK!!
This is an auto-repair shop!!
A Castle?? On an apartment building??!
Some sort of cool archer-on-horseback etching...
The churches here are GORGEOUS!!
In the local park, Parque Rodo...

What's with that first picture & the little doors to teh right of the main door? Is it the midget's entrance?
Ha, good question! The main doors are about 15 feet tall, so they do make the garage look a bit small by comparison :)
