After an absence of 24 years, it's sad, sad, sad,... Avenida is wasted, decrepit, forlorn, and dangerous. All the familiar businesses like National Bookstore, Alemars, Goodwill Bookstore, movie houses, department stores,the eateries, are gone. Replaced by lots of cell phone shops, pirated dvds and software, knock off high end merchandise, owned by Muslims. Lots of short time motels too. Careful walking, you may accidentally step into some poor homeless soul sleeping. A few small children (age 2-3) filthy and walking butt naked. Several empty lots not completely demolished, with partial wall still standing. Reminiscent of a building that was recently bombed. Building facade and front are all dark and in need of a good scrubbing. The picture above is nothing but pipe dreams I walked Rizal Avenue on July 17, 2011, from Carriedo until Doroteo Jose.
