This is exactly why I love BsAs.
It is lost in its own weird time warp- which is both its blessing and its curse.

This worked well enough,til the advent of the internet- then, all the Porteno's suddenly could see what was on the other side of the one-way mirror-

Cheap Crap from China!

Which, of course, is fiendishly addictive.
Once you have sampled the I-Pod, you can never go back.

Great article. The unique mix of modern and the 80's, 50's and 20's is exactly what keeps me drawing back to BsAs.
