According to the Buenos Aires Herald, US film director Francis Ford Coppola and his daughter Sofia shelled out $900,000 for a Petit Hotel in the hip Palermo Soho neighborhood… They plan to stay there when they work on an upcoming film here in Argentina.
The picture below is of a street just a few blocks away from the Coppola’s new digs, where we went for a walk today. I’d like to see what they bought because I’m sure it’s nice… (Maybe we’ll post the picture when we find it…)
UPDATE: Here’s the Coppola’s new home in Palermo, not a great photo, but it gives you a feel for the place (we found it online, an Argentine blog…).

I know that Malabia is either the street it’s on or a cross street… Malabia and Honduras maybe…
