El aviador

Restaurant where Olmedo and his friends met before their Acrobatics classes.

They met on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays to go, walking or by streetcar, to the “artistic acrobatics” classes at the Club located in Independence Park. “We met at “El Aviador” bar, at the corner of Suipacha and Salta Streets; that was our corner." We got there and from 8:00 p.m. to 8:15 p.m., we listened to “Glostora Tango Club” on the radio (“Glostora” was a hairspray that sponsored the programme), with tangos by Alfredo de Angelis' Orchestra. When the programme ended, we left for the Club,” recalls Osvaldo Martínez, one of his friends.
