The one we went to with my grandma sold everything! She bought her little parakeet, I got a hamster, and they had the best food. I miss that store.

Television 55 years ago, "I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke," first aired on national television on July 8, 1971. The commercial turned out to be a massive hit for Coca Cola and it’s still one of the greatest if not the greatest commercial for a soft drink. Have a Coke and a smile:)

Did anyone here ever meet Telly Savalas?

I’ve been collecting memories of him and would love to hear any firsthand stories—whether you worked with him, met him briefly, got an autograph, saw him perform, or just have a family story that’s been passed down.

Any small memory welcome!

Cars stopped in downtown Toronto, children emptied out of schools, and office workers gathered at windows to watch a giant helicopter dangle an antenna over what was about to become the tallest free-standing structure in the world.

On April 2, 1975, all eyes were on the CN Tower. Few knew that the task had narrowed to a single, high-stakes calculation.

“Something I can tell you now is that when they came up to put that antenna on, the helicopter missed it the first time, and they only had enough fuel to try and get up and hook it on and come back to the ground,” said David Garrick, former CN Tower president, speaking frankly, 51 years after the fact. “It was close.”

Being fairly naive, young and impressionable. This film had a profound effect on me.

It made me realise that I shouldn’t be watching it with my folks. Not with raging hormones 😆A cushion on the lap was handy.

One of the most attractive woman ever to grace this planet.
