    And now it is gone..... an icon from the golden era.

    Manage to stay with it 3x and the last one was just before it will be demolished. Most of the hotel parts (doors, lampshades, etc. can now be found in some HMR items)

    There are places I'll remember

    All my life, though some have changed

    Some for better, not forever

    Some have gone, and some remain

    All these places had their moments...

    Yes bro.,- the more I hum it, the more I fall in love with the song...

    That's why a visit to Strawberry Fields is a must whenever I am in the area.. - even if I have to walk for miles - one time- in a very chilly weather...

    I was told na kaya jollyjeep ang tawag sa mga kainan sa side streets ng Ayala CBD is because before they were actually jeepneys that double as food stalls. Is it true?

    Yes. These jeepney will park at the side of the road and wait for customers. Usually lunch time dati. Until they were institutionalizednand regulated by MACEA and MAPA.

    The jepneys are still being used to deliver food from their kitchen to jollijeep but most evolved and now use hilux
