Typewriters: a rarity in many households and workstations these days . . . unless you collect them. I saw this at the "The Grand Thrift Shop" at #cubaoexpo. #exploringcubao #thriftshop #thriftstorefinds #collectibles (at Cubao Expo)

Other forms of small businesses rise in #cubaoexpo (formerly #marikinashoeexpo). I can't remember seeing enterprises like these before. Times have definitely changed. #exploringmanila #exploringcubao #shoeheaven #shoeshops (at Cubao Expo)

What these are called escapes me at the moment. But you can get these at "The Grand Thrift House" in #cubaoexpo (formerly #marikinashoeexpo). #exploringcubao #thriftshop #thriftstorefinds #collectibles (at Cubao Expo)

What used to be known as a popular shoe destination - Marikina Shoe Expo - is now "Cubao Expo." Gone are the shoe stores we grew up with - Gregg, Otto, Milani, and Janylin, to name a few. The very few shoe stores that are left include "Mark R" and "Solimann Shoes." The rest of of the shops consist of a mix of thrift stores, a few restaurants, and bars. #exploringmanila #exploringcubao #marikinashoeexpo #cubaoexpo (at Cubao Expo)
