A few years ago I lived in Puebla, Mexico for some time. In a street corner in the centre of town there was an old run-down cantina named Salon Correo. It opened sometime at the end of the 19th century and long time ago it was a lively meeting place. Salon Correo was a place where I felt at home, even though I came from a place on the other side of the world. Inside the cantina one could feel how present time and the past existed in parallel. Now and then I used to go to Salon Correo with other regulars from town but otherwise it was on it’s last legs.
Shortly after I had left Mexico and moved back home to Sweden I was told that Salon Correo had closed down. I envisioned the owner and the old regulars and tried to imagine what the deserted cantina looked like now, when life goes on elsewhere.
