Message from Erin Mushaway

The Monumento a Carlos Pellegrini is a statue located in Buenos Aires, Argentina, dedicated to the former president. The monument features a bronze sculpture of Pellegrini on horseback, surrounded by decorative elements and inscriptions. It serves as a tribute to his contributions to Argentine politics and history.

Paris of South America? Look at the photos attached here, there is one photo from when this monument was inaugurated that shows the stark contrast of the Buenos Aires of today (massive apartment blocks lacking personality or charm) to the city that earned the moniker "Paris of South America." The original plaza was lined by mansions with intricate details, nothing to do with what you see today.
