    Real Estate Sales Neighborhood by neighborhood: What is the price of a garage for sale in Buenos Aires in July 2025? - La Nación Propiedades

    I've heard a few accounts of Argentines(outdoor types) people seeing orb/craft/lights going in and out of the water in the lakes of Lago lolog, Lago Faulkner/villarino and Villarica in Pucon. With one telling me having weird communications that did not seem normal to the experiencer with these...

    Very cool you are MUFON investigator, thanks for sharing. My interest in the Phenomena in general from seeing strange things when I lived in Santa Fe, NM for a few years and never thought about it until a decade later after hearing the reporting on the congressional testimony of David Grucsh...

    New wave of shutdowns and layoffs puts Argentine industry on alert

    Mercado Libre has got rid of 3,000 people this year in Argentina. Lots of other tech companies and white collar are laying off as well. Certainly at least partially AI related.

    Bloomberg: Argentina Inflation Sped Up for Fifth Straight Month in January

    I like to get the sealed ojo de bifes or bife de chorizos at Coto. Better priced and quality than most meat shops imo. In June of 2025 last year they were 13.000 to 14.000 pesos a kilo. That price was double that in January to March of this year to about 25.000 to 28.000 Pesos. So the price of...

    From Elena Roger to Camila Sosa Villada: the ambitious plan of the Buenos Aires Theater Complex to win back lost audiences

    I absolutely admire the theatre and small music venues in this country. There is a some sort of gov subsidy/program for theaters around under 300 people in Argentina. Which might help explain why there are always cultural centers/perfromance arts spots in lots of small towns across the whole...

    From Elena Roger to Camila Sosa Villada: the ambitious plan of the Buenos Aires Theater Complex to win back lost audiences

    The city owned theatre complex on Corrientes is an amazing gift with cheap admission, of course, reliant on subsidy. It is a very hard thing to balance funding for the arts as it is too easy to throw money down the drain. Theatre in particular holds a unique role in the arts, which may become...

    Has anyone used kavak.com.ar here to buy an used car?

    I have helped friends buy a used ford ranger(2004, killer truck) and a used ford focus(2012). I just helped search Facebook(traveled to Santa Fe for the Ranger), kicked the tires a bit. My partner has an eco sport(bought new with the Ford Employee discount 30%). I started paying car expenses to...

    Has anyone used kavak.com.ar here to buy an used car?

    If one is worried about price and expenses like license plate fees, getting an older car over 10 years old is a good option. They largely avoid all the extra fees that the Gov, likes to tack on. Can be savings of easily a grand or two per year. Even the value is taxed here, year after year...

    Argentina’s textile sector reels as import surge hits job

    Great insight about industrial policy and textiles. Pampero is an excellent brand and compares very comparably to Carhartt. I discovered it when asked to be dressed as a Gaucho, so my girlfriend brought me. Great quality and prices very comparable to Carhartt. Bought a lot of stuff, besides just...

    ‘The land will be left as ashes’: why Patagonia’s wildfires are almost impossible to stop

    There are always idiots and jerks starting fires where they shouldn't, doesn't matter what group they pertain to and I like seeing people getting called out on it. Whether that video is representative of the Epuyen/El Hoyo fires is hard to determine. It is certainly a problem where people do...

    ‘The land will be left as ashes’: why Patagonia’s wildfires are almost impossible to stop

    As a skier, I am very in tune with snowpack and their effect on wildfires. There was barely any snow this past 2025 season in Patagonia. Fires are more prevalent with drier soils. Same thing happens in the USA and around the world. This also has a horrible affect on tourism and economic...
