This is the Arbasto, which used to be the central market here in Buenos Aires, full of fruit and vegetable and meat stands, as well as birthplace of the local slang known as "lunfardo," which was invented as the Spanish-speaking locals tried to communicate with Italian merchants. Now it is a classy shopping mall, complete with amusement park and movie theater. At least they didn't tear it down!
