No need ah pek lah, the shifting of the terminal only less than 5 years ago.

high chance due to National Park wanna increase rental... profit profit and profit again..

[Juzzme]

I think the whole marine cove will be torn down and redeveloped. If i'm not mistaken, it is not owned by NParks but rather by a certain mega church. The bowling alley will also be redeveloped, all the way to the Viking ride area...Mac's is only one of the tenants moving out.

So long, farewell. Thank you for the memories.

These days so many new developments, nice too look, many people but no soul.

 

As someone who grew up in the East in Katong, I am going to miss that place.

16 now goes to the airport? It had been a long time since I last took that bus number.

Yeah, the bus terminal is opposite Mandarin Gardens, wonder if it is still around or demolished already. I remember they were building Victoria School next to it when I passed by there.

Everything is getting commercialised.

Over the last 2 decades, ECP lost quite a lot of prominant places. big splash also gone ...
