    Default Remembering the Old Cebu


    First of all, sorry if wrong category or if naa nay duplicate.

    Saw this blog a while back about the old cebu:

    29 Cebu Views Cebuanos Will Never See Again - Hanging Rice

    Been living in cebu all my life and seeing how rapidly the cityscape is changing, I tried to remember the places I used to go to when I was a kid.

    I remembered Coney Island ice cream shop in front of fooda in mango ave. now near kalidades,

    When fuente osmena was a skating rink,

    When white gold was the hippest mall in the city and I can still remember the large jars of dried prunes,

    when somewhere in ayala property, near the back of CIC there was also a skating rink,

    when century 21 cinema in front of national bookstore still existed,

    when IT park was still an airport (I can still remember playing there as a kid, climbing the rundown air control tower and of course Bearbrand kite festivals!)

    When waterfront was still a muddy "tangkongan" where salvage victims where alegedly dumped

    When rooftops were filled with radio antennas and everyone had a "call sign",

    when jy was only a supermarket and cebu plaza was the popular hotel in town.


    Kamo, what do you guys remember about the Old cebu?
