What a shame that the city devolved to what it is today. The Lima of the past looks more modern than the Lima of the present.

It's sad many of these things were lost because of the economy, among other things. Peru had one of the oldest department stores in the world, called Oeschle, founded in the late 1800s. There were all different kinds of supermarkets, stores, there were no combis, no tuks tuks, traffic was very organised. We had street carts all over, including one from Lima to Chorrillos, and from Lima to Callao. You can still see the remnants of this by looking at the trolley in Barranco that only runs for about 3 blocks. Lima at its best had probably the same status as many American and European cities of their time, and maybe better!! But many of these things were lost because of the economy, and the mass migration of people from the Andes, especially of Amerindian descent. On the bright side, Lima is recovering, slowly, but still, and now it depends where you are in Lima in order for you to have a bad or a good quality of life Yeah, Lima used to be this way.
