    After more than 20 years of abandonment, Harrods, Buenos Aires on Florida St is to be refurbished to its former glory.

    It's believed that it will reopen as a department store with a 4 star hotel on the upper floors.

    What good news! I hope this project continues to completion and is successful. It could be a great start to restoring dignity to “cambio! Cambio! CAMBIO” Florida Street.

    Who knows? Maybe the gorgeous Burger King building could be next up for restoration!

    Have they sorted out their trade mark problems with Harrods London?

    I remember going to Harrod's in my 1950's boyhood. It was a beautiful place. Every floor offered a specific sort of items. The elevator clerk announced it in every stop. The best for me was the floor with the toys, where I find the numerous models of British vehicles, whose brand was "Dinky toys".

    Then we have tea in the upper floor with delicious "miga" sandwiches. Waiters were splendidly dressed with white coats and gloves as well.

Thank you for the support!
