The Grand Splendid



Question: Want does a city do with a grand, but crumbling theatre?

Answer: Restore it splendily and transform it into a book store.

This is one of the locations of Argentina's Ateneo book store chain. They call this one the Grand Splendid.

There is a wonderful cafe on the stage. You can sit and read in the luxury sky boxes. Every bookcase has its own lighting.
Splendid indeed.
