When we say someone doesn't have a weight in their pocket or is literally lying around, we use this language twist: <<It's in "Pampa and the Way">>. That intersection, the one of La Pampa street with the tracks of the Mitre railway, exactly opposite the Valleys of the Belgrano neighborhood, gained fame more than 100 years ago, when the racetrack was located where the River Plate course is today. There, the gamblers who lost everything, even the last coin to return to their homes, enjoyed a courtesy service provided by the racetrack itself and consisted of taking them on a special tram to the intersection of La Pampa and the train tracks, so that from there, that it was a more populated place, they had a better chance of returning to their homes.
