Con Locura



Friday 23 February 2007

This is a little Buenos Aires tradition that I love. Sometimes you will see these painted banners on the smaller streets, wishing someone in the neighborhood a happy birthday, anniversary, or good luck. This one says "Gaby, I love you madly." It's a neat way to involve the community in the celebrations, to announce to the world your happiness, to really get someone's attention. It reminds me of the "So-and-so, I love you" graffiti sprayed onto overpasses in Detroit, but so much nicer.
