Rua Aricambu - local commerce, culture, and community (comércio local, cultura, e comunidade) in Pica-Pau

17:13 Aug 4 2012 Favela Pica Pau, Cordovil, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Description
Aricambu is the road that functions as Pica-Pau's main artery, cutting across the community and through its dozens of informal streets and alleyways. Here, the residents of Pica-Pau greet each other with laughs and warm embraces, children fly their kites, and locally-run bars and restaurants spill their music, smells and chatter out to passers-by. Seamlessness defines the space shared between the street and the store: interconnected areas that come together to form a buzzing, animated plaza through which the blood and energy of the community pumps in living rhythm.
