Old town

I live in Tafi Viejo, I have lived there all my life and I have to say that I have a love-hate relationship with it.There are times that I don´t like living here at all, because I feel like I´m disconnected from the city. Doing even the smallest thing(for example if I have to buy guitar strings) I have to travel to San Miguel. Its exahusting to travel to the city everyday; I have to do it because I study there. There are some days that I have to travel twice, because I´m doing my teaching practices in a school of San Miguel.I always tell to my friends that I would really like to live in the city, because everything I need is there.However, there are moments that I really like living here, because it´s very quiet and small. Recently I have begun to miss staying here, because I´m the vast mayority of the time in the city. I have to say that I´m very proud of being a taficeño, because my town was very important several years ago. All my family has always lived here.I live very far from the center, in a neighborhood called Villa Obrera. It was set in the time of the Talleres Ferroviarios, and it´s called like that because the workers who used to work in the Talleres settled there.Each family of my neighborhood had a relative who worked in the Talleres;my grandfather worked there too. Unfortunately, nowadays the talleres are just a cementery: it was closed several years ago and nowadays the only thing that keeps them alive is that the municipality is placed there. It´s rather sad to walk through the railway station and see the old and rusted trains; it´s a desolated picture indeed. In addition, the former Tafi Viejo´s quatermaster and his cronies stole tools and very expensive equipment; we could see trunks taking away them.However, I think that we have to face the truth, trains are outdated and the government would have to invest a lot of money to make them work again. I don´t think that this will happen, but I would be nice to see the Giant working again.I guess this is just a dream.
