Blast from the past!


Yesterday, I visited Lorenz's stall at an art market in Escolta. It's been decades since I was last in that area, so I took a few minutes to walk around the neighborhood.

Lo and behold, a sight that was so magical, I heard "hallelujahs" in the background after seeing it.


Syvel's!

This was a huge department store back then, even bigger than SM. They also had shoes as their main product, and I remember how Mom would buy her shoes in the Cubao branch.

Alas, all their stores are closed now. But at least their memory continues to live on with this sign.
