Coolest Decade To Live In?

[Kahilas]

90's

[kraven8888]

Every decade has its ups and downs.. but definitely,I'd like to experience the 80s again....

[john2004]

late 70s to early 80s - kahit saan ka mag park ng kotse,

ok lang, walang bayad. walang scooters, bikes na biglang

cut sa harapan mo. example na lang sa bandang Rizal Theater

na glorieta na ngayon, kahit saan mo ipark sasakyan basta

parking area lang talaga -walang bayad.

to be a teenager in the 70s, the Groovy Era.

I'd have to go with the 1980's. Best times of my life.

[oscartamaguchiblackface]

I miss my childhood. The most care-free, happiest, and greatest times of my life. I've got to go with the 60's

Shangrila Makati is where Rizal theater used to be.

 

I agree. The parking then was hassle-free.

 

Late 70s to early 80s would be the years I would like to live in.

 

 

 

Yeah and right across the large empty parking lot from Rizal theater was the row of stores which included Bookmark, Metrophil, Happy Feet, Pancake House among others. I actually still remember buying my school textbooks at Bookmark. All hard bound, made in the USA. Sobrang bigat ang school bag ko!! He he he.

 

Further down the road on the left was Makati Supermarket and across that was Maranaw. Going towards Pasay Road was another large parking. One of the landmarks in that area was The Plaza.

 

This is like going down memory lane. Am feeling quite nostalgic just writing this.....

I remember Bookmark but I forgot where it was. Mercury Drug was in front of Rustans, which is still Rustans.I don't quite recall if there was a Pancake House, Metrophil and Happy Feet. 6750, if I'm not mistaken, used to be Rustans Supermarket.

 

Bro looks like we don't belong to the same generation. :lol:

Coolest decade for me to live in is the 90's!

[messersmith]

ako 40's I'll fight the Japs!!! 60's 70's at 80's mura pa bilihin ...

[maxiev]

Though the 60's and 70's were my formative years, I still treasure my experiences in the 1980's.

The row of stores between Maranaw Arcade and Rizal theater - which included Bookmark, Metrophil Drug Store, Happy Feet (Birkenstocks), Pancake House (2nd branch) - is now that side of the Landmark building which faces The Link (Ansons).

 

The site of the present 6750 office tower used to be Ansons Auto Shop and Rustan's Duty Free Shop.

Yeah. You're right. Rustan's Duty Free Shop. This picture was taken in the 70s or early 80s because Landmark opened in 1988 or 1989. I can't recall what Landmark was then but I know that the original Mcdonald's in Makati is now Mercury Drug in Glorietta 4. If I'm not mistaken, Alemars was beside Mcdonald's. Would you know what buldings are on the right side of the picture? The two buildings where Landmark is now to be exact.

 

Great picture muttley. I feel nostalgic just by looking at this picture.

 

Also, would you know that building across Urdaneta Apartments? I think that building occupied the land where Shell Edsa-Mckinley is now.

 

Landmark - The larger building was the Maranaw arcade. Wasn't the smaller building a bowling center?

 

Ayala cor. EDSA (beside Urdaneta apartments) was and still is the Makati Garden Club.

 

McKinley cor. EDSA was and still is the Shell Gas Station.

 

And the name of the blue arcade (where Bookmark, etc used to be) was the Ayala Arcade.

Landmark occupies what used to be Maranao. Makati Supermarket was across Maranao. Today Landmark is right across Glorietta. But just to clarify. When you cross over to Landmark from Glorietta, as soon as you step into the curb, you're already right by the entrance/exit of Landmark. In the case of Makati Supermarket and Maranao, as soon as you exit Makati Supermarket, you still had to walk clear across an open parking lot to get to Maranao. Maranao was a whole lot smaller that the present day Landmark.

 

As far as Shell Edsa-Mckinley Rd. goes, I think this has always been Shell. As far as I can remember, Shell has been in that particular site.

 

I noticed that Dusit-Thani (used to be called Niko Hotel) is already present in this photo. I remember a time when this was an empty lot that was used by a "peryahan" back in the early 70's particularly during Christmas time. I remember winning many stuffed animals shooting a basketball through a hoop. Nalugi ata ang operator sa akin. He he he....
