Plaza de las Estrellas

Plaza de las Estrellas is a shopping center located in Mexico City. It was built in 1982. It is best known as the site of the Paseo de las Luminarias, the Mexican equivalent of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Gloria Funtanet, one of the Plaza's developers, created the Paseo to honor Mexicans and Latin-Americans in showbusiness, most notably the motion picture, television, theatrical, and recording industries, of which Mexico City is the center in Latin America. Since the Paseo's dedication, which coincided with the Plaza's opening, over 1,000 entertainers, mostly from Mexico, have been inducted. The inductees are honored with a star and their handprints embedded on square tiles. The Paseo is located in the upper level of the shopping center, and doubles as the main walkway to and from the stores located on that level.

The Paseo is the Plaza's main attraction. The Plaza has a Cinemex movie theater, 200 stores, restaurants, food court, banks, and a hotel (El Hotel del Prado).

gollark: That would be ridiculous.
gollark: Of course not.
gollark: It's just JSON or something. Unless you found some sort of bizarre hack.
gollark: The API doesn't return *HTML* responses, though?
gollark: They have, of course, launched "COVID marshals" and encouraged people to report violations since, but I'd really just expect that to create more resentment.
