This is the way Roxana speaks about how naturally the milonga has been shaped, labeled as open. The visitor will be told bluntly that they will see people of the same sex dancing together, and it is precisely that normal environment that one witnesses at ‘La Marshall' which makes the key to its success. The other key has to do with its good advertising, avoiding any possible mistakes, because as Roxana says, it is not a cruising place. Nevertheless, that is purely theoretical –one never knows. After all, the atmosphere itself at a milonga suggests, and paves the way to, spontaneous encounters and deceptions. At least that used to happen at ‘La Noche Azul,' another gay milonga that closed down recently. Fortunately, things have changed. Queer Tango Buenos Aires. Tango Queer. Buenos Aires Events.

Day Out: Buenos Aires - Rebirth of a Bohemian Barrio - Travel - New York Times. THE Boedo section of was an artistic hotbed in the early 20th century, home to Argentine cultural giants like the writer Roberto Arlt and the tango lyricist Homero Manzi. But it drifted into anonymity after World War II, a low-slung, middle-class neighborhood whose famous soccer stadium was razed and turned into a Carrefour supermarket.

In the last few years, however, Boedo has experienced a cultural rebirth. As other bohemian neighborhoods like San Telmo and have been gentrified, independent theaters, underground restaurants and trendy bars have sprung up amid the skinny, century-old “chorizo” cottages that still define Boedo. The city has installed semi-figurative sculptures on many sidewalks, and tattooed artists now mingle with longtime residents who were teenagers during Boedo’s last boom.

Using the public bus system in Buenos Aires can be daunting and is a bit of a misnomer, as the system isn't public at all but a collection of independently owned operators. Some of the routes are 50 KM and more, and wind their way through many little barrios and neighbouring towns.

There can be different routes for the same bus lines, and if you don't pay attention to the sign on the lower left hand corner of the windscreen detailing its routing, you may be in for a surprise. This being said, the system works and is happily used by many hundreds of thousands of commuters daily. If you will use the bus even moderately buy a 20 peso (as of March 2014) SUBE pass, and load it with some pesos. It can be reloaded as needed. It may reduce the trip cost, and is certainly more convenient than acquiring coins. The following advice was found to be very useful, but way down the author refers to a web site that is very good.

Visiting this cathedral is one of the best things to do if you enjoy taking a glimpse into local culture and history. The church is located in the central part of the city near Plaza de Mayo.

He fought with Simon Bolivar in Argentina, Chile, and Peru in an effort to liberate the nation of Argentina. The body of General de San Martin (for whom a large plaza is named in the city) was moved to the cathedral in 1880 during a time when it was crucially important to signal a need for the unification of the Argentine people. The original structure of this great church was built in 1745, but it was not designated a cathedral of the Catholic Church until 1836.
