Way before all the illegal immigrants invade; way before the beautiful neoclassical buildings being violently destructed and replaced by the ugly concrete "boxes" of today; way before the thousands of cars and buses pollute it, Patission Street that nowadays is dominated (especially after 10:00 PM) by junkies, anarchists and leftist anti-Greeks of any kind, Nigerian dealers and pimps, prostitutes from all over Africa, Pakistani bootleg sellers and so on, used to be one of the most beautiful streets in Athens.
