[ Discussion ] Possible Photowalk Estates

[microcosm]

Possible Photowalk Locations
- Redhill Estate
- Whampoa Estate
- Toa Payoh
- Jalan Besar (near the stadium)
- Owen Road Housing Estate
- JalanBukit Merah
- Bukit Ho Swee
- Sembawang area (there are some really old houses, but cannot remember the road)

Please add to the list if you can think of anywhere, especially when it is slated for demolition (en bloc) or in the midst of vacating the occupants. That would bump it up the list.

Hey, I stayed on blk 28 toa payoh for 6 years LOL.
Moved out 2+ years ago cos they want to demolish it until now not demolished yet?
The view from 20th floor where I lived once is very nice, from far far away you can see orchard road (meritus mandarin hotel).
With 1000mm telescope you can actually see police academy also, but not much (covered with other building and trees).

I lived in that block from 1970 to 2000.

I heard there is a change of plan. No more demolishing blk 28 and the few other blks around. Gonna refurish it all and lease out instead.

Thanks for that update.

damit, I moved out because they want to demolish now they change plan.
I like it there plus toa payoh is like 15 mins by MRT to my office.

but sadly i gotta say, Toa Payoh Lor 6 - Blk 28 opp SAFRA, Dragon type playground,
yes the government dept wanted to take those buildings back, however, they have cancelled the plan, and now,
the one at the playground is still under renovation.

Maybe we can have Radin Mas as a location next time. I'm just not too familiar with the area though.
