Old manila pictures... just sharing

[MR_BIG18]

I loved the area there. So many diversions, esp during evening....women's dorms, bar/BBQ/karaoke, shopping too (lots of bootleg stuff).

One of my friends there had a family-owned bar. We spent New Year's Eve there partying. My friend said, I was so drunk, I walked out to the middle of Espana St., took a piss, and then walked back to the bar. I don't remember any of it.

We used to have a dormitory there along galicia st...just a stones throw away from UST...ah memories

is that a 60s taunus or hunter or 70s escort mexico?

and dig the sidewalk-sweeper bell bottoms and the pamulubi-barbero mophead haircuts.

*DuckDuckGo*
Taunus was made by Ford Germany. It had front-wheel drive and a V4 engine.

Groovy. ☮️✌️

Madaming puno at puro gaso.

we really need more nature parks na just nature parks. No business dapat. Its a time to unwind not thinking of what to buy.

roxas blvd, early 1960s. US embassy area, i believe.
wala diesel, dahil bawal (or night coding?) ang trucks sa roxas blvd noon.

Rizal Ave yung top? Then EDSA yung left? Samson sa right then Mc Arthur sa baba?

Not so sure I think yung nasa taas yung Mc Arthur highway.
Looking at the sun shadow the picture is probably taken looking north.

correction, po.
it's the old bonifacio monument at monumento in caloocan city.
liwasang bonifacio is in plaza lawton, beside the post office by the pasig river.

the streets,
highway 54, later re-named epifanio delos santos avenue, is to the south.
to the north is samson road.
to the left is avenida rizal.
that's macarthur highway (yata!) to the right.

Thats a 1933 photo, highway 54 ,EDSA was built/started in 1940. Mc Arthur highway in 1928. The wider road at the bottom has to be Rizal Avemue/Avenida/Route3A. , And the top is Mc Arthur Highway (previously Route3A).

Grabe 1930s, wala halos kabahay-bahay. Then look at it now, wala na halos bakanteng lupa.

googling edsa,

... originally built in the 30s during the quezon administration, and named north-south circumferential road,
it was renamed 19 de junio (rizal's b-day) in 1946,
then re-named highway 54 in the 50s.
became epifanio delos santos avenue in 1959.

there's the exactsame picture in google, one of which has edsa scribbled blurredly on the south roadway, right or wrong. i can't read the other labels.
for some reason, the same picture appears multiple times in various locales.
it's probably the only surviving picture of that place from that era.
