This was mid 2000s. IIRC Market Market opened around 2004

But why can't I see the Fort Strip. That was where we used to go in the 90s. We used to call it Fort not BGC

Yup. Around 2004 i think. Fort had one of them automatic speed sensors then. When you hit 50kph, a big screen in the road will blink and indicate you are beyond speed limit. Go through it at over the limit and a marshall will go after you.

Market market used to be that... A weekend market for produce and food. Ineng's had its first stall here, selling barbecue for 18 pesos per stick.

The road near fort is the one where RC airplane enthusiast fly their planes and drones every satruday morning

Wow! Now I remember that automatic speed sensor! It's amazing how everything changed in less than 15 years.

good gosh!
there's hardly anything, south of the pasig and east of the railroad.
i think that Rosary-like thing there's the american military cemetery. it's the biggest US military cemetery outside the continental USA. my uncle, like every other juan's, lives under there.
