Then and Now - Plaza Goiti, Sta Cruz

September 2, 2008

I took the shot last Saturday, as I was standing at the foot of MacArthur Bridge, I noticed that the area was not that clean, but compared the last time when I went to the place, I think the cleanliness in the area was better than before.

This plaza is located at the back of Sta. Cruz church in Carriedo street. Before the Second World War, this portion was once became a station of the Manila Tranvia. This place was renamed to Plaza Lacson, dedicated to the former mayor of Manila, A. H. Lacson.
