Another One Bites the Dust

This is exactly why I put up this blog. I want to document all the changes in this town before people forget what this town was like when they were kids; before I forget what this town was like when I was a kid.

It seemed to me like the Dela Rosa Magnolia Ice Cream Shop & the adjacent Silang Restaurant (located at the Silang Town Plaza across the catholic church) would be open FOREVER. But early this month the ice cream shop closed its doors and now major renovations are underway to turn the commercial space into a Ministop Convenience Store. A couple of months ago, the restaurant was closed to make way for a Dunkin' Donuts.



When I was in high school, I would go to Silang Restaurant with my mom and my brother to eat pancit and siopao.

During the power crisis in the mid-90's the Magnolia Ice Cream shop would have promos of 'Buy 1, Take 1' on the ice cream products but we never could buy them because ice creams used to come in much bigger tubs and since there were daily brown-outs, we didn't have any place to keep them.

The ice cream shop survived the power crisis of the 90s. And both the shop and the restaurant survived many, many years...but now they're closed and being replaced by other businesses. I need to find photos of the old establishments :(

I promise to take photos of the new establishments.
