What happened to the town plaza in Aguadilla ? When I visited in the 70's it was a beautiful gathering spot in the evening.I wanted to revisit but not seeing it on my google map.
There was a time, before the malls, highways, fast food joints and cable TV, when plazas were full of people, specially on the weekends. As people abandoned the public places, to stay home to watch Brazilian sex novelas and now Turkish ones, life outside the home has come to a standstill and taken over by graffiti, drugs and dangerous individuals. Puerto Rico is like a small version of New York city in the 70's, when folks were terrified by the 24 hour news cycle.
Is there any reversal to that - people and families getting back into the plazas and public spaces?
couldnt say about all the plazas but the one in Mayaguez has been really upgraded by the placement of a little coffee shack in the square. in the 80s it was hookers and such. now its more family friendly.
the one in Rincon they have done similar and also hold an 'art walk' on thursdays. The one in Anasco was always decent.
