Julia Barber

Ángel Rivero Méndez established the Polo Norte soda company in 1902. The name is derived from the numerous expeditions vying to reach the North Pole during this time period, a competition many believe was won by Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen in 1923--but it's also a great allusion to the cold and refreshing drinks the factory would produce! Its tiled facade, commissioned in Seville, Spain, still stuns on the streets of Old San Juan in Puerto Rico. #🇵🇷

I'm back! For now, maybe not forever. But I miss this, and all of you.
