Closed for renovation

One of the places that I usually go to during the weekends is a mini-mall in Quiapo called the Manila Plaza (formerly the Ever-Gotesco Recto Mall). I'd go there because the Page Jeans store on the second floor has pictures of one of my favorite actresses Katarina Perez. I'd also go there for the fried noodles which my brother and I recently had a hankering for. The fried noodles were being sold at a food stall on the third floor.

So in my dream I find myself at the Manila Plaza one afternoon. I go to the second floor...and I find that the Page Jeans store was gone...closed...boarded up. I look around the third floor and saw that all the stores were gone too. The whole floor looked like it was deserted.

I try to make my way to the third floor...only to find the the whole third floor was boarded up as well. In fact, the escalator leading up to the third floor looked like it was truncated.
