Orchard Road

Hi,

I took my Dad to have a look at Orchard Road since he was there 2.5 years ago and a lot is happening there........ renovations, new buildings, etc....

During the walk down Orchard Road, we came across a few interesting sights as shown in the photos below :






I thought it was a new MacDonald stall but it is a bus-stop!

Good advertising gimmick!












A nicely put up tent selling mooncake ... it really stood out!





Not forgetting our famous Singapore Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) gantry in the background.

Payment for every entry into Orchard Road to curb the heavy traffic.......


















Ngee Ann City - huge shopping complex with anchor tenant, Takashimaya.










Wheelock Place in the background, across the road where we have Borders book store, and Apple retail shop on one of its floors.









Orchard Roand junction, some major road and a huge building construction in progress....
Visit Orchard Road in a few years time and you will see all the huge shopping complexes being connected together ..... waiting to empty your wallets...ha..ha...ha....


The locals hardly shop at Orchard Road these days as there are similar smaller shopping complexes in the heartlands like Tampines Mall, Lot One, White Sands, Parkway Parade, etc.......
