Manila Then
I came across this blog a couple of weeks ago and have been enjoying it a lot. Nostalgia Manila is a blog dedicated to reliving Manila as it was in the 1970s and the 1980s. You’ll find stories that will send you back to your childhood (or teenage years, depending on how old you are…). On the sidebar, you can play a song from the yesteryears while you read the blog entries. Right now I’m listening to “I Can’t Tell You Why” by The Eagles, this week’s featured hit. While the music is fun, what I enjoy most are the pictures!
This picture is a glimpse of downtown Manila in the 1970s. The picture shows where a lot of the shopping was done then. I remember Alemar’s! They had a branch along Quezon Ave. I enjoyed going there with my family after Mass at Sto. Domingo.
There are a lot more pictures in the blog that will send you down memory lane. I’ll leave them up to you to discover them. I am certain the entries will trigger a lot of memories for you. And if they don’t, well, I’m assuming you’re a young reader. Read on anyway and find out about movies, toys, TV shows and other things that formed our memories of Manila years ago.

Whenever I listen to a soft rock station here and hear songs from the Eagles, Journey or Styx, naaalala ko ang Pilipinas. :)
This is an interesting page for your movie memory of 30 – 35 years ago. Will it sure worth your time for mental exercise to stimulate your brain cells.
This brings back so many memories. Coolness!
