Q is for QUEENSTOWN , one of the early Housing estates with high rise buildings built by the government to replace the traditional houses for our growing citizens. Developed around the year of Queen Elizabeth's coronation in 1952, Queenstown became the first satellite town in Singapore. Sadly to say this derelict bowling alley is due for demolition soon but the there's so much changes was done to the town, with so many newer building gone up in place of old ones.

Thanks for dropping by.... some old hbits die hrd rt :)
I remember when I was taking the MRT, the train went pass Queenstown, Nt daughter thought the queen lived in Queentown and was disappointed it wasn't a beautiful estate.
Recognizes the building, on the way to my husband's job at Alexandra Road and Wearne Automotive.
Is there any activity in the house, or is it empty?
Thanks for the comment on the silhouette!
Have a good day, I'm going down and check out if there are some cool Christmas decorations on Orchard Road yet.
Sadly, every country has its eststes like this.

Find out what Quiet is for my kids.
Good that you caught this photo op before it was too late. Quite possibly, the traditional houses were the most pleasing to look at and live in?!
Our bowl closed down as well, now its textile outlet. Lucky yours lasted long enough to be a Q entry for ABC:-) Towns always keep changing.
Joy, ABC Team
