walang island sa gitna ng quezon boulevard Quiapo at Avenida Rizal,

bukod sa konti ang sasakyan, KAHIT MINU-MINUTO MAG U-TURN

sa kalye, PWEDENG PWEDE.

i just saw it once in the early 80's

Request lang po.... a picture of Manila Ice Plant (tama ba yung name nun?) which

was the first ice plant in Asia which once stood opposite Metropolitan Theater in

Plaza Lawton... survived World War II but not LRT beautification program....demolished

late 70's early 80's can't remember exactly...All that remains now.... isang bodega na

left unattended...should have been preserved by the National Historic commission...

Pag baba ng Quezon Bridge galing Quiapo...turn right dun sana yun..Think of what

someone's edifice complex could ruin...and erase from memory..REQUEST FOR LANG!

finally found your Insular ice plant pix (after 3yrs of searching... )

Everytime nakikita ko mga pics dito naiiyak ako.... wish i could travel back into time.

 

 

ako rin parang naiiyak.. ang ganda talaga noong mga panahon na ito, sarap puntahan.. hay buhay.......................

:cry:

[kempaf]

ang linis pa ng mga lugar., maaliwalas, hindi polluted..

 

siguro kahit ilang ondoy at pepeng pa ang dumating, hindi babahain. kung bahain man, di masyado konti lang.

 

parang gusto ko yung mga auto noon na i-drive ngayon.. gusto ko kasi old school.
