[edit] GA Review

The article is very well written and well sourced. It's quite interesting. I believe it meets the Good Article criteria. Some suggestions for the article would be to add some more photos. A map of the avenue itself, highlighting the various points of interest, would also be a very useful thing to add. Overall, good work! Dr. Cash 02:56, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
