I've been working on a theory about living in this small, industrial city in Patagonia. Here it is: In Trelew, it's always 1974.
Supporting evidence:
- Muscle cars and loud tailpipes are the epitome of cool.
- Recycling? Nope. Only a bottle-return on local beer.
- Construction workers whistle at women (constantly).
- Despite a national obsession with the game, no soccer for girls. Instead, the big sport for girls is roller skating.
- Cursive writing is a major element of the kids' school.
- Popular ladies fashions include polyester stretch pants. For men? Members Only-type jackets.
- No car seats or seatbelts in use, ever.
- Litter and graffiti are everywhere, on everything.

Okay, they aren't all muscle-cars...but they are still from the 70s!
The desert climate means they don't rust so they're still on the road. |
