This is a picture taken in a beautiful street named Jufré street. This street is located one block away from one of the most important avenues in town, Cordoba Avenue, and it's located in a "noble" neighborhood, Palermo Hollywood, known for it's famous restaurants and movie and television producers. Sadly, there are never pedestrians and all of the old coffee shops and restaurants are now closed, and the street is currently kind of a "parking street", always full of parked cars. All the adjacent streets are crowded during the week and on weekends, and very busy bus lines pass nearby, but this street became an urban hiatus in the big city. This street turned out to be one of the many "gaps" seen throughout the city's urban mesh, originated by the successful dynamics of nearby streets, presenting closed business that were victimized, even though located inside what's considered the best neighborhood in town, in one of the most beautiful city's streets.Also, it shows that locals feel to use cars even though there are, at the very least, 10 bus lines passing only one block away. That information can be used to map new public transportation lines, for instance.
