As one travels east toward the Río de la Plata, neighborhoods become increasingly poor, and two large villas miseria (slums) are found close to the river. East Quilmes has several relatively wealthy areas and a large shopping district. Quilmes proper consists of two main parts, east and west, which are divided by the tracks of the Metropolitano passenger train line. The airplanes were considered of "antiquated design" according to the New York Times.

Hope y’all come along for this ride so we can all watch the Lakers hopefully turn things around together.įor more Lakers talk, subscribe to the Silver Screen and Roll podcast feed on iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher or Google Podcasts. But no matter where it ultimately leads, I can’t wait to get going on this. Now, this is going to be a process filled with growing pains and everything else that comes with live content and, depending on how it all goes, this can definitely expand to longer parts of games, other big nights around the league, or whatever else you guys prefer. When we go live, links and video will go out on Silver Screen & Roll’s social platforms, whether you follow on Twitter, Facebook or Youtube, as well as my own personal social pages.
Starting Wednesday - when the Lakers play the Heat on ESPN - I will be live-streaming myself and the occasional guest watching the last five minutes of nationally televised Lakers games. I’m here to announce something that hopefully offers us all an opportunity to enjoy the game together. You never know how much you love something until it’s gone and all that.Įnough rambling, though. Hearing the roar of the crowd after a year of fake noise was incredible. Nothing.Īll this was thoroughly hammered home as fans started returning to stadiums this year. I mean, what’s better than yelling at a referee who will never hear you with a few fellow fans? Nothing, I say.

Turns out watch parties are significantly more fun than pity parties ( this start to the season notwithstanding). Fandom is just better as a shared experience. I’m the only Lakers fan on our block and, given the time change, games are usually spent by myself in my living room with everyone else in the house fast asleep. When we moved halfway across the country to Texas, one thing that I didn’t know I’d miss so much was watching Lakers games with family and friends.
