storm Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 Padaan lang. Nasirang ISP ko tapos went to Baguio nang balikan. Parusa sa driving. I really missed the Baguio of the 70s. Very congested na ngayon. John Hay na lang ang amoy Baguio. For nostalgia, we had lunch at Star Cafe along Session Road then bought strawberries, Romana's peanut brittle, brocolli, cauliflower, basil, sayote tips, and other Baguio vegetables para makabawi. :thumbsupsmiley: Passed by John Hay and had merienda at the Filling Station. Pwede na rin pero it was a lot better in the past. I was a junior bowler in the 70s and the Landmark area was where the old Coronado lanes was located. We loved the pastries and the bolognese in swiss inn then. Quote Link to comment

Buhay pa kaya ang INN ROCIO? --which i was told was owned by the grand old man of the 70s Opposition, Don Chino Roces. Quote Link to comment

Buhay pa kaya ang INN ROCIO? --which i was told was owned by the grand old man of the 70s Opposition, Don Chino Roces. No idea bro. The good ones are Elizabeth Place, The Manor in Camp John Hay and Baguio Country Club. In the 70s marami like Pines Hotel, Hyatt Terraces, Hotel Nevada, Baguio Park ---- they all collapsed during the big earthquake that shook Luzon in July of 1990.

Indeed, the fried chicken at Mothers was great and cheap. Check out Vacation Hotel on Leonard Wood Road. Might be in Baguio weekend of March 9-11. Really miss the place. Quote Link to comment

storm Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 70s peeps, let's have an eb on Friday. I'll attend an art opening at Gallery Astra, 3f LRI bldg, in Reposo, Makati. In the 70s, art was booming courtesy of the Imelda and her blue ladies. Quote Link to comment

Bods, ok ka ba dito? Quote Link to comment
