Session Road on a Summer Weekday

Bustling Session Road on a Summer day has a lot of Taxis plying this road of roads in the center of Baguio City. One thing noticeable in the pictures is the absence of the Jeepney. They are no longer allowed entrance to the Road to ease up congestion. This has helped a bit but as you can see, there still is a lot of vehicles around. Parking of course is no longer free as you have "Jadewell" attendants collecting fees as you park.

The yellow flowers are leftover decorations from Panagbenga Flower Festival of February. The trees, lend greenery to the scene and the large colorful signs, one of which is a movie ad makes a colorful Baguio, different from what I am used to.

To get you in proper perspective, I am taking this photo from the top of the Puso ng Baguio Bldg. You can hear the beeping of car horns and the revving of diesel engines as you observe this normal sunny day. People of course are walking up and down as usual. On the left used to be the Skyworld Condominium which was toppled down as a result of weakening from the great 1991 Earthquake. It is now an "Ukay ukay" or "Wagwagan" haven. Simply translated to slightly used clothes and other articles that you dig out treasures from.

Many establishments from my high school days are still there, CID Educational Supply(curiously split in two), Luisa's cafe and PNB to name a few. Many are missing like Coney Island, Koken's Barbershop and Bherumulls, Bombay Bazaar and Streamline.

Which store I have not mentioned can you add to the list of stores that you miss most?
