GMY Book Contest #5


Thanks to my friend Stephen Lai for contributing this mid-1960s photo. The first person to identify this place wins a copy of my book, Good Morning Yesterday. Just post your answer in the comments section. Sorry; only local readers can win ….. for obvious reason.

I know the general location of this place but am not 100% confident of the street/building. Even Stephen could not recall the exact location.

Incidentally, Good Morning Yesterday (Book) was last spotted at Times @ Centrepoint (Tel: 6734-9022), Kinokuniya @ Ngee Ann City (Tel: 6737-5021). You can also get it at Betel Box Hostel, Bistro & Tours (Tel: 6247-7340) and HAF Box Pte Ltd (Tel: 6235-4560).

Yung An Road off Corporation Road.

I think I know what bldg that is.

Keith said...

I think Pastimes might be correct but there is another possibility. And I got the book alrdy, so will not attempt until the deadline is up.

From the structure, it looks the former Golden City Theatre at Queenstown.

Keith said...

I think Pastimes may be close or even correct. Although it could be another place nearby, I shan't attempt as I alrdy got the book.

Roads in the picture are Corporation Road / Boon Lay Drive / Boon Lay Place

Lam Chun See said...

I think Pastimes is right. This is the junction of Yung An Rd and Corporation Drive (not Corporation Rd). I believe that bldg under construction was the Chase Manhattan Bank.

More details later. Pastimes. Pls let me have your mailing address via email or FB msg.
