Santa Fe-Paris...

The name of this department store in Santa Fe (also in Paris apparantly, as it tells us on the front of the building) is an interesting choice.  But aside from the name, it is in a great old building and has a fabulous sign and a big clock on the front of the building.  It makes me think of shopping in the 1950s, when people dressed up and made an occassion out of it.

Beauty in the doorway

I love the old fashioned doors and entrances that the buildings here have.  Some of them are grand entrances, with a marble hallway and art deco lighting, and some of them are not as fancy but they have a vintage onda just as they are.  This is the entrance to a friends place in Abasto.  I changed the images to black and white just for a little artistic change, and to give them an all-so-slight air of film noir-ness.  In the un-touched light of day, the elevator door is emerald green and the entrance has a faded brown-goldie 50´s feel.
