Farmers Plaza
Farmers Plaza in Cubao is one of the oldest malls in Quezon City. It was built before shopping was supposed to be an 'experience' and the shops were small and crowded, and the corridors dark and narrow. It underwent a major renovation when the Metro Rail Transit system was constructed because one of the MRT's largest stations would connect directly to it. On one side of Farmers Plaza, and the reason for its name, is Farmers Market, one of the oldest, largest and cleanest fresh produce, meat and seafood markets in the city.

Oh my. I wonder if that is what we call, Spam, above my comment. Looks like it to me but in Japanese. LOL
I like your photo and the explanation. I wish we had light rail. It might make life more interesting as we get older.
Boy, that was fast! Deleted now.

I once chanced upon an article about the early beginnings of Araneta, Cuabo including that of Farmer's Plaza.

You did a great job on this picture Hilda! I love the angle.
Hilda - This photo is so artsy - the lines and angles, the colors - very nice!
Very colourful! I like the angle you took it at.
I am really curious to see the inside...
What a colorful building. The history behind the building was very interesting. Thanks for sharing it with us.
The colors are so cheerful. I'd be attracted to this building no matter what it was.
Nice angle!!
Sakura in Tokyo is full bloom now.
