SM City North EDSA Undergoes a Major Facelift

It’s been going on for several months now… but it was only recently that I was able to buy a new set of rechargeable batteries for our digital camera. Hence, this post… (get the connection?)

23 years, that’s how long it’s been standing there… the first SM “supermall”.

SM City, that’s how it was called before… but now, with so many SM “Cities” popping up everywhere like pimples on an adolescent’s face, you have to refer to it as “SM City North EDSA” or “SM North” to avoid confusion.

I cannot recall how the place looked like in its first few years of existence, though I was quite surprised at what I saw when I got to visit it again (some time in 2000) after so many years of not going there. For one thing, the interior of the original structure looked (and still is) pretty gloomy and crowded. Quite visually unappealing if you’ll ask me.

Anyway, heare’s how it looks today…
