The heralded reopening of the street received from the town folk, a mixed reception online and on the day (21 September 2018) only a handful were in attendance – mostly from the media.
The end result of the face-lift is easy to spot: the full repainting of the street now with added 3d geometrical effects, which creates overall a bit of a surreal atmosphere; that coupled with a brand new female statue wrapped in rope signposting the street; and a newly planted tree with room at one end to sit and enjoy it all. The tourists seem to take it all in, in unrelenting round the clock enthusiastic fashion.
