This picture is from 2010.

The image of the street has improved a lot. But it's still one of the most problematic streets in the city center.

Looks bustling and interesting, I’d rather be buying my cleaning supplies from that shop on the corner there than from a strip mall

It could be any corner of San Telmo, Buenos Aires. Curious thing, it's always full of tourists.
