There are many plaques on the buildings in Mexico City's "Centro Histórico" which give tidbits of information about the history of the neighborhood. Last week when I was downtown, I saw a plaque that I had not noticed before.
"Stradavarius" is a chain of women's clothing stores from Spain. There is a branch along Madero Street, the pedestrian street that cuts through the heart of the historic center. It is on the ground floor of lovely, 19th century building.
Next to the entrance is a plaque which says that this was the location of Plateros Drug Store, and that the first public showing of a motion picture took place here in 1896.
