storm Posted September 6, 2006 Author Share Posted September 6, 2006 (edited) Pareng Storm, Kumusta ka na? I also miss Big 20 Burger on Escolta. Malapit sa babaan ng Love Bus on that street. Masarap iyong burger nila even though it was a bit pricey during that time. During the 70s, my favorite burgers were Tropical Hut and Big 20. Okay naman pero sobrang busy. Productive but very tiring. Ikaw bro? Hindi kasi ako nagagawi ng Escolta kaya sayang namiss ko ang Big 20. Tropical Hut is still around. Same taste. Hindi nagbago. @ Pareng lomex32, Sayang bro at wala akong rar. I'm using a Mac. I'll check na lang FHM. Thanks bro. Edited September 6, 2006 by storm Quote Link to comment
jt2003 Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Hindi kasi ako nagagawi ng Escolta kaya sayang namiss ko ang Big 20. Tropical Hut is still around. Same taste. Hindi nagbago.My memories of Tropical Hut burgers during the 70s was that they were really huge. This was before Tropical Hut became a fastfood joint. The problem with the Tropical Hut burgers then was that they were rather dry, unlike the Jack's burgers which were so juicy, especially with their unique mayonnaise. Quote Link to comment

You're referring to the The Green Mayonnaise of Jack's! I've been asking the sons of the owners of Jack's to resurrect the burger. Sayang talaga! Quote Link to comment

bathala Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 As for me, Jollibee is but a copycat of Tropical Hut...first time I tasted Jollibee my initial reaction was " E, lasang tropical ito"...my kids thinks it's the other way around...but I tell them that Tropical Hut is very much older than the bee. @lomex32, bro...ako rin walang rar, how can i view this?

mason_rod Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 What I remember about the 70's is the Antipolo Rock Festival, a la Woodstock. I was there. Hippie na ako noon. Year 2000 was just a vision of the future then. Seems just like yesterday... Quote Link to comment
Acrab Shaula Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 The PBA... The date was April 9, 1975, when the first game was played. Gregorio "Joy" Araneta scored the new league's first points... The country was under the yoke of Martial Law but, inside the Araneta Coliseum it was a fiesta. The first professional league outside the United States had just began its enduring love affair with millions of Filipinos. Frustrated and in conflict with the abrasive clutches of the Basketball Association of the Philippines (B.A.P.), the governing body of Pinoy basketball; nine clubs decided to band together and form the Philippine Basketball Association (P.B.A.). Toyota, Crispa, U-Tex, Royal Tru-Orange, Noritake, Carrier, Tanduay, Presto and Seven-Up were the charter members of the new league. Quote Link to comment
dodo Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 What about EARTH shoes? Wasn't that popular in the 70's? Quote Link to comment
bathala Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Wasn't it Joy Dionisio who scored the very first basket? I'm pretty sure about this... Quote Link to comment
jt2003 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Yes, I believe it was Joy Dionisio who scored the first points in the PBA. Quote Link to comment
mason_rod Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I was passing by Araneta avenue the other day, when I was to reach SM Centerpoint, I suddenly remembered that was the place where Thomas Jefferson library was located. I used to be a card holder there where you could borrow any books you like and also vinyl LP records. There were also free jazz concerts that were held that featured artist like Lito Molina and Eddie K. I used to hang around that place during those days... Quote Link to comment

Lito Molina used to write a music/jazz column in Business Day (now known as Business World). Pards, the place that used to house the Jefferson Library, what is it now? Quote Link to comment

Pards, the place that used to house the Jefferson Library, what is it now? (RIP) Lito Molina's son btw is the former husband of Rossana Roces. Pards I'm not sure what building is that, and there's a vacant lot besides it where it used to be a large apartment complex before when TJL existed. I'm sure because I have some friends who live there before. SM Centepoint used to be Sta. Mesa market, where there was a lot of hip shops, I forgot the names already. :goatee: Quote Link to comment
