Palermo Hollywood

This guide to Palermo Hollywood in Buenos Aires opens with how flooding used to announce itself here: whistle blasts, then firefighters rowing boats down the street. It follows the arroyo Maldonado, the river that once ran openly through this ground, from a sixteenth-century naming legend through the decades of flooding that pushed the city to bury it for good in the 1920s and 30s. Television studios and post-production houses moved into the quiet warehouses left along its buried course starting in the late 1990s.
