Vertical Favela



Edificio São Vito is a 30 story luxury high rise from the 1950s that fell on hard times, was abandoned and then invaded. It's known as a vertical favela and sits just east of downtown, prominently overlooking the Mercado Municipal, the main municipal bus terminal and the old city hall.


Beautiful old buildings are currently used as wholesale fruit depots including this fantastic art deco bank building.



photo of thomas locke hobbs Hi. I'm a 32 year-old American currently living in Buenos Aires. Before that I lived in California, Sao Paulo and New York and if you browse through the archives below you can see photos of all those places. I also have an old geocities page with some outdated information but also more photos of Buenos Aires, friends and my 9/11 pictures.

does spelling it out really prevent spam?
