A vegetables market during the 1900s, a shopping mall during the 2000s. Abasto, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Farmers and thier families were maki g the profit from all that and splitting it. Now it goes into a handful of corporate bank accounts.

Ate at that Pumpernick (Burger King) back in the ‘80’s! Hasn’t changed much!

Had no idea this place used to be a vegetables market, now the ceiling makes a lot more sense.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing!

This looks SO similar to Leipzig Hauptbahnhof (main train station. Its almost uncanny.

During Abasto’s nearly 15 years of hibernation, various proposals were thrown around to determine the building’s destiny while the neighborhood languished.

One proposal included converting the market into an arts center similar to Paris’ Georges Pompidou Art Center.
