Timog Avenue
Timog Avenue is a street located in Quezon City within the Diliman area of northeastern Metro Manila, Philippines. It runs east-west through the southern edge of the barangay of South Triangle and is formerly named in English as South Avenue. The street is located in Quezon City's entertainment area, known for its restaurants, bars and karaoke and comedy clubs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Business brings more fun in Quezon City )〕 It is also home to the GMA Network Center studios located on the avenue's junction with Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA).
==History==
The avenue forms the southern boundary of the proposed Diliman Quadrangle within the former Diliman Estate also known as Hacienda de Tuason, purchased by the Philippine Commonwealth government in 1939 as the new capital to replace Manila.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The 1946 Quezon City world's fair )〕 It was originally planned as the new city's Central Park housing the new national government buildings (the new Presidential palace, Capitol Building, and Supreme Court complex) within the elliptical site now known as the Quezon Memorial Circle. The quadrangle is bordered on the north by North Avenue, on the east by East Avenue, on the south by Timog (South) Avenue, and on the west by West Avenue. Designed by American city planner William E. Parsons and Harry Frost, in collaboration with engineer AD Williams and architects Juan Arellano and Louis Croft, the site was also to contain the national exposition grounds opposite the corner of North Avenue and EDSA (now occupied by SM City North Edsa shopping mall).〔 The Diliman Quadrangle had been largely undeveloped for decades due to lack of funding. After several revisions, the government planners moved the city center to Novaliches due to its higher elevation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=25 things you didn't know about Quezon City )〕 By 1976, the country's capital had been transferred back to Manila with only the Quezon Memorial built in the former capital site.
