Disneylona Council's planning committee recently missed yet another opportunity to prevent the mallification of downtown, when the 1920s neo-classical gem Cine París was knocked down this spring to make way for yet another facking Zara. Progressive Barcelona is so quick in demolishing the old and the odd--while moaning about the insignificant damage wrought by the Italians during the war--that this distant shot of a floral mural at the rear was all that I managed to salvage. Leading interesting city walks in such a milieu is a continual challenge.
