OLD CEBU -- Time was when...

[Mazinger]

---

When I was a little kid, I remember eating at Club Filipino and Magellan Hotel where Ayala now stands. During that time, there was Belvic and Gaw. Dairy King had good ice cream. My Dad brought me there when my first baby tooth got pulled out. We used to buy bread from Elite Bakery, and we drank mango shake in Foodarama, which was the only place you could do grocery shopping. My Uncle used to ride bump cars at Merry Mart across the Redemptorist Church. My Aunt would disco at a place called "Inner Circle". When I was in the Cub Scouts, we would go camping in Busay which back then had no roads. There was only one Mactan bridge and Marigondon was free to the public. Orange Brutus was the only good burger place and Shakey's was the only pizza.

grabe mka research!!! bro arnoldsa naa pud kai knowledge about old Cebu during WWII ako im a huge fan of WWII pero gamai pa akong nahibaw-an about Cebu during WWII ang ako ra jud nahibaw-an is dha sa Bogo nahitabo ang pinaka crucial nga event nga nag lead sa mga americano to land in Leyte for their retaking of the Phils. naa mai nag crash land diri nga jap plane with vital info about jap installations dri sa pinas so i guess they found a weak spot sa Leyte where they can easily secure a beachhead and set-up a defense perimeter for their landing troops.

Taga Bogo ka bai? Bogo ang kagikan among family

I have more pictures at the Cebu Heritage Walk Thread here sa Istorya...

Finally, a shared experience

if i remember right, gaisano metro at corner Osmena Blvd. and Colon was built in the early 90s or late 80s....the first gaisano store was in colon, infront of UV. that building has been there since the early 70s; the BIR used to hold office in the ground floor of that building.....before the gaisano family opened that store in colon, they had the White Gold Department Store, which used to be in a building along Osmena Blvd., cor., Plaridel St.; that building was burned down in a fire in the early 70s, and the lot is now being used for parking....
