[ghosthunter]

if you are referring to the "salamat po" picture, yes it is.

[jansky]

how about the last picture? is that "crossing" today?

[roninblade]

i think the last picture was the view from guadalupe going to makati/ayala.

The one with the Meralco + PhilComCen + Ortigas Bldg. is taken somewhere in VV Soliven.

Sorry if a bit OT but I just couldn't help notice the holden Torana in this picture (the green car next to the Beetle). My Dad used to have one, the six cylinder version it was one mean car.

JD ba yung lawanit ang pangsara ng windows? yung kulay red na bus?

As I recall yes. We used to ride it when I went to Letran in intramuros waaaay back hehehe. Lawanit lahat, pati body ata eh. The seats were very spartan, kahoy lang ang back support.

those were the days fresher air and worry free traffic? haha and an a/c was not even a requirement when buying a brand new ride

well that's what the population is all about.

And yung uniform ng mga konduktora yung pink na palda at blusa. Nangingintab sa almirol. Plantsado....unat na unat, at ubod ng tigas!

Yung bintana pa nyan, lawanit din, itina-taas pag umulan. Malamig sa labas (dahil nga naulan) pero ubod ng init sa loob, pag nagsara na lahat! He-he! Grabe, wala na pumapasok na hangin. Kasi wala pa AC noon sa mga bus.

no, definitely not even near the pasig area. read the sign boards:

bago bantay, balintawak and caloocan, novaliches to the left <<< northernmost intersection possible is west ave/north ave because this intersection is before bago bantay which is the southernmost place listed.

crame, marikina and pasig, san juan del monte to the right <<< means the
southernmost intersection possible is santolan, before crame which is northernmost in the sign.

manila, sta mesa heights and espana extension and san francisco del monte on the signs pointing towards the photographer AND (the only place names I can read from the signs) UP, ??, balara, culiat, ?? and ?? pointing away <<< santolan and aurora blvd are out bec those do not lead to sfdm to the west nor balara/culiat to the west. i only know of 3 roads that can lead to UP, balara and culiat going east AND that also leads to (repeat, leads to but not necessarily pass through) manila, sta mesa, espana ext and sfdm going west, and these are west ave, quezon ave and east ave.

in addition to the above, the signs are arranged perpendicular to each other, so that means the intersection is perpendicular and not askewed like west/north/edsa or east/timog/edsa.

me thinks this is edsa corner quezon avenue.

DM Transit, Death Machine! rumor was that the only question asked from driver applicants was "ilan na napapatay mo". if the answer was more than 1 then he gets hired! pag patay kasi ang nasagasaan e insurance lang ang katapat, pag buhay e may hospital bills pa na kasama.

sama cousin ko sa napatay ng walanghiyang DM na yan!

I think it's the corner of EDSA and Aurora Blvd. because of the signs going to Espana Ext. and Sta. Mesa.

No... that is just a commercial area using the name "highway 54".

Highway 54 is the old name of EDSA.

I still can remember the time where:

1. There were no overpass in Edsa...you can do J-walking.
2. There were still 'service roads' in Edsa.
3. Edsa ends at Taft. (Wala road papunta Roxas Blvd and MOA)

Plus, we were able to fly saringgolas in the middle 'island' during summertime.

BTW, I grew up near EDSA Pasay Rotonda.

Anyway..nice pics.
