Our friend Sachiko sent us this amazing photo of store signs which we all remember seeing in downtown Manila in the '70s. She writes:
"This is where we used to shop during those days, when malls and big department stores that houses several movie houses was not yet the norm. There was Ever Emporium, C.O.D. and Alemar’s Bookstore to name a few. Ahh, and the movie theatres..Roxan, Avenue, Lords, Jennet and Galaxy theatres. I remember I was in my high school uniform,skipping classes, and along with my cousin Nancy,would watched movies after movies. Can’t help feeling sentimental. Can’t help feeling nostalgic."

Next to Globe Theater in Raon was the Famous "Lumpia-an". Lumpiang sariwa and a cold soda after a double feature movie! Simpleng kaligayahan then.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
I had also posted some pics but of today's Rizal Avenue:

Hi from sachiko :)
Dont' forget meron pang Good Earth Emporium sa Avenida at Opera Theater and Revolving Tower sa Quiapo, which I forgot the name..
Hey, I recall, di ba yung revolving tower eh SM na ngayon. Tama ba ko?
ano ba naman kayo, kinalimutan nyo yata yung no. 1 na sinehan nung 70's CINERAMA at ang no. 1 emporioum. GOOD EARTH EMPORIUM kung saan mo maririnig ang mga pamaskong awiting ng Ray Connif singers tuwing magsho-shoping ka.
