Can't think of any at the moment other than marina Bay which you mentioned

Many places revamped until not recognisable anymore

You know the bridge/link between marina square and millenia walk at level 2? Used to hang out and drink there with my frens. Only that link is more or less still intact. Sometimes still go there with frens to reminisce the past

Haha yah. Last time always use the hotel's toilet. There are 2 open air pubs just outside the hotel side entrance. Now no more

Else is just buy drinks from 7-11 and hang out at the open area. The 2 circle pavilion seats are for couples to hanky panky

i think the hotel got pissed off and subsequently shut off the use of the hotel toilet. I can understand, must be a lot of work for the cleaners.

i got jio meng by some drunk chinese ah beng at the circular seats. my friend and i just ignored him.

haha good old days yeah. wonder why they shut it down.

oh yah, marina square bowling and snooker area was great too. also gone sigh.

I think it was only during the opening hours of the pub. They had a security guard there. Must show hotel card i think.

Yeah i guess it lost its novelty after sometime. This is not a food place afterall.

Yes the old bowling snooker area is now like a dead place of schools and salons.

Oh the other nice places wld be the old stamford library which is now a smu and some road.

The other one wld be MPH just beside, which is now part of smu.

I wonder who was on the board of smu to influence the gov to allow it.

I think for hotels like for any biz
A bit and a few random passerby come n lend toilet is ok

If too many until it makes it too dirty and they can't upkeep a clean enuf level for staff n guests then hotel will feel "I hv to do something to ward them away "
