"Propaganda" poster shop in HCMC?
 
A few years ago there used to be a place on Le Loi that sold reprints of the old Vietnam government propaganda posters from the 60s and 70s. I have many at home but was hoping to grab a few more. Assuming the place relocated as rents went up in core D1 area, anyone know if this place is still in business and where it is now located?

Google says Dogma is permanently closed. Sorry, I don't have any additional help. I just googled HCMC Dogma

Thanks, got the same info from hotel concierge. The entire side of the street where this shop used to be is a big hole in the ground now (looked down on it from the Bitexco tower viewing area). I love Saigon and the modernization has some benefits, but I do miss the charm of some of the older shops that have either closed or moved. We stumbled on some of the stores in new locations, one owner couldn't believe we knew her previous location and could recite all of the items we had bought there a decade ago. The entire area around the Opera has turned into a high end luxury goods zone, and that stuff has always been priced better in the US anyway, so I am not really in the market for that in VN.

Thankfully the food is still amazing all over the city, I think it may be the most "farm to table" eating I have ever seen, from the street stalls to most of the restaurants.

There were a significant number of shops selling propaganda posters in the Old Quarter in Hanoi when we visited last month.

I recall a shop on Dong Koi Street (a main tourist street) near the river end that sold posters. It was a few years ago but maybe they are still there.

Yes, and one or two on Nguyen Hue and others on the side streets connecting those two. I haven't been to Saigon in a couple of years, but I'd imagine most of the smaller old shops in this area have closed/moved and been replaced by more high-end establishments.
