Magical Mystery Tour
Have you ever traveled back to the future? It concerns about the continues journey of the soul to attain purification.
Dekada 70(Manila) from E-mail message

BLAST FROM THE PAST!!! don't know the source of these photos, but they surely bring back memories.

 

 
The lovely building on the far right is the Dona Narcisa de Leon (yes, Dona Sisang of LVN) Building designed by Gabriel Formoso that has long since been torn-down in favor of the Equitable-PCI Bank Tower.

Left, IBM ; RCPI and the Dona Narcisa de Leon Building.

Don't know where this is but it looks like a fair somewhere in Manila . Maybe near Luneta?:

Cubao 1973. Is that the old PU-Cabs that didn't have meters (yellow car near gas station)?:
Image
La Loma, Quezon City 1973: (Correction by buddytan: The picture of "La Loma, Quezon City 1973" is not actually of La Loma but of Sampaloc, Manila, specifically of Dimasalang pass Maria Clara going north towards Blumentritt and North Cemetery.)
Image
I remember these. I bet it's harder to find these calesas these days in common places:
Image
Quezon City neighborhood in the early 70's: (This looks very much like Kamuning, Q.C. -- in fact looking down from where my grandpa's house was on K-2nd. That first cross street is K-C rd, turn right into that street and you hit Kamuning Road , make a right on Kamuning Rd. , then that will lead you to EDSA).
Image
Look at the shoes and th pants! Ahh... love them, and I bet their shirts are halfway open too. Macho!!! ( Quezon City 1974): (This is along Taft avenue . The wall is the old PGH wall. I don't know if it's still there but I used to pass by this building almost everyday (a long time ago)).
Image
Quezon City (also in 1973 but just b/w photos) in Highway 54:

Another calesa:
Image
Quezon City (also in 1973 but just b/w photos) in Highway 54:
(Correction: This I believe is the makati side of the above picture. Right after Guadalupe and before the CBD. Probably right around where if it were today and you looked to the right, you would see Rockwell.
Image
You are looking at Makati from Mandaluyong here. That large building on the left is the Guadalupe shopping center
Image
Guess what's showing in the movie theatre, "The Sting," "The Red Pony" and "Don Juan" (starring Brigitte Bardot), all movies that came out in 1973:This is Delta Theatre in Quezon City .)

wow, thanks for posting these photos. metro manila looks so diffferent now. the last time i went home was in 2004, with all the flyovers and new buildings here and there, it's hard to believe manila looked like this once. the caption of the Farmer's Market is in Makati. Isn't it Farmer's Market is in Cubao? unless there's one in Makati.
