The plaza is always crowded with people of all age groups, from the very young to the elderly. Something I learned the other day was that the movie Vantage Point was filmed there. Also, at around 10-1020 at night the plaza lights up. It is such an awesome sight to see and even that doesn&#8217;t quite describe it properly.<\/p>\n<p>It is something that has to be experienced yourself.<\/p>\n<p>I love this city, and that seems to be the general consensus for the group.
