Blast from the past..

I should be working but I'm not because I feel guilty about neglecting this blog for so long. And there is nothing like a dose of melancholy to fuel your procrastination. 
I've had this video sitting here for so long that I can't remember where I found it. Suffice to say it's full of incredible archival footage that anyone interested in Santiago should watch, if only for a glimpse of what the city was like before it got 80s-ified! Behold the heyday, 1937, of the endearingly titled land of charm!
