Lavalle used to be the main center for movie going in Buenos Aires. A few active theatres still remain but the large spaces have largely been turned into evangelical churches, bingo halls and large commercial galleries selling tourist junk and pirated movies [ironic]. This theatre did the bare minimum of renovation. You can see the suitcases crawling up the stairs to what used to be the balcony. Merchandise is set up on the downward sloping floor of the theatre itself. Hopefully Teatro Colon will avoid this fate, altho it seems dicey at the moment.

Y pensar q mi vieja cuando era chica me llevaba a uno de los tantos cines q habia y despues a Pumper Nic (el equivalente de Mc Donalds/Burguer King)y era "el programa".Eso fue en los 80'.Ahora es un horror,lleno de ese tipo de locales y restaurants de mala muerte.Una lastima.

I remember when my mum used to take me to one of many cinemas there were around there and then to Pumper Nic (fast food chain like Mc Donald's/Burgue King)and that was "the night out".That was in the 80's.Now, is aweful,there is lots of that kind of "shops" and bad/cheap restaurants.What a shame.
