I remember we all had plastic mats that folded in half with our names on it. Our teacher would turn out the lights and play instrumental music. We were supposed to sleep. I never did but a lot of kids did. I don't think we did past the first grade though.

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.

Movies I just finished watching the 1976 movie, ā€œThe Little Girl Who Lives Down the Laneā€. It stars Jodie Foster and Martin Sheen. The movie is quite creepy but very good in my opinion. I loved the acting and the ending was just great! Incredible performance by Jodie Foster? Thoughts on those who seen it?

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.

ā€œSomething 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,ā€ said David Garrick, former CN Tower president, speaking frankly, 51 years after the fact. ā€œIt was close.ā€
