fond memories from decades past. Mention 'Greenhills' to an eighties or
nineties kids who grew up in San Juan or studied in any of the nearby
schools and watch their faces light up remembering fondly of old spaces
filled with stores, hobby shops (still recall Nova Fontana?) hang-out
spots, and restaurants long gone. McDonald's first drive-thru outlet was
built in Greenhills, people flocked to Tickles for all sorts of quirky
and cute knick-knacks, and for even more gift shopping, there was Gift
Gate and Regina Gift Shop (commonly known as Regina's, which is still open).
