“Is McDonald’s Harrison Plaza the only branch left in Manila that still has the 90’s classic interiors? I mean look at the signage, tables, chairs and wall finish? I wonder lang if kasama sila pag giniba na yung mall.”

Dito ko naka meet-up yung pinagbilhan ko ng DSLR. Nag-kitakits kami sa Jolllibee sa baba (na pwedeng daanan ng mga taong ayaw magpasecurity check sa main entrance). Sinabi niyang Harrison Plaza ang meetup tapos tanong ko: "Saan yun? Pwedeng Megamall na lang or MOA?" https://t.co/0UonX9uql6

I remember buying our Christmas dresses, pants suits, blouses at Harrison Plaza. My younger sister and I always wore same colour and design—terno.
I also got the clothes I wore on my first date fr Harrison Plaza. A pair of yellow pants & brown top. Haha! Those were the days! https://t.co/qxyNSZaGoO
1/4. Last night, I told bubba that Harrison Plaza will finally be closing its doors today. He was quiet for a moment and got teary eyed. He hoped to visit HP one last time, before it closes but wasn’t able to do so because of our crazy Christmas schedule. https://t.co/iOlAXgce4E

Sure ako na kapag "Mabini Harrison Plaza" ang signage ng jeep ay dadaan ito sa roundtable and only a few steps ay nasa Pamantasan na ako where I went to college. (Naisip ko lang papalitan rin ba ng mga jeep ang signages nila kasi wala nang Harrison plaza? lol) #HarrisonPlaza https://t.co/Aq9SNvNflt
Nakapulot ng 100USD ang bestfriend ko, then niyaya nya ako sa Harrison Plaza, kung saan bumili sya ng 2 swatch sa Gift Gate tig isa kami. https://t.co/bfOh4R8CZO
When I was a kid my father would take me to Harrison Plaza. In a coffee shop hanging out with fellow political junkies, I’d eavesdrop as they discuss various political conspiracies, rumors & opinions.
That’s when I’ve learned who are the Old-BAD of Philippine politics. https://t.co/QhpAwrU8Aj
The mall, which opened in 1976, will be taken over by SM Prime Holdings which plans to redevelop the 7-hectare lot. – Rappler.com
