Below - some of the fabulous (and reminiscent of San Francisco) street art on display in my 'hood. As far as I can tell, Palermo is to Bs. As. as the Mission west of Valencia St. is to SF. Or as Williamsburg is to Brooklyn. Still a bit edgy, with the occasional auto-body shop in view, but recently invaded by hipster clothing boutiques, trendy cafés, dimly-lit bars with beautiful people spilling out onto the sidewalks at 3AM, and... street art. It's no doubt a nice place to be for now, familiar and easy while I practice Spanish and get my travelling legs, but after 2.5 more weeks I'll certainly be ready to move on.
