Very nice! I take it that this is an affluent area?

A while back there was a forum member from Austin who moved to Mexico City. He posted maybe one thread from there, and then I don't think he was heard from again. Anyone know?

Nice pictures. Some of the Art Deco is too dumpy and run down to what I'm used to, but there are some really nice buildings as well. The greenscape is really nice too.

well i dk how old you are, but maybe think of it as miami beach in the very late 1980s-very early 1990s when it was still gentrifying, except with a scattered mix of new construction.
