Londrina, you will be always in my mind.
I left this wonderful city, 30 years ago. Never had the chance to come back again. I have grown up in a small house at Rua Senador Souza Naves 1121 or 1221, I dont remember. Most probably it doesnt exist anymore. I can remeber the 03 towers of Centro Comercial and the Edificio Cinzia where a friend of mine lived. At that time Londrina´s skyline was already very impressive when coming from Ibiporan. Nice to see all these photos from the city where I was a teenager, Best memories I have from that time.
Londrina, you keep on amazing, young, affluent city and probably very cold in the winter

Great pictures! It´s amazing how diverse and interesting Brazilian cities are. I´ve had the opportunity to visit Sao Paulo, Rio and Recife but there are so many other places in Brazil I´d like to see. I´ll put Londrina on my list.
