Remember When... ?

[Night Owl]

do you guys remember Promo the robot?

I had a hard enough time trying to understand how Commander Tom could be the weather guy.

it's 11 oclock, do you know where your children are?

That was when Channel 7 actually aired "News"

I am now showing my age because my parents used to shop at Bells and Twin Fair. HR Puff N Stuff.

Oh, my... I'm going to start a "Remember when" thread because we're going off of the "local Music" topic.

Solid Gold!!!!

I remember when I wanted to be on the "Tiny Talent Show"

[Daisy H]

Tiny Talent Time! OMG, I haven't thought of that show in...forever. Bowling For Dollars with Nolan Johannsen (sp)..Rocketship 7 with Dave Thomas..I admit my crush for Kevin O'Connell back then as well. Oh my, need to quit while I'm ahead!

Good ol' Irv Weinstein was the voice of "It's 11:00, do you know where your children are?" Back then I used to just think "Yeah, the street lights are on, I'm in the house, they know where I am."

Remember when Capri-Sun first came out???

oh, and the Hawaiian Punch board game?

[Night Owl]

Remember When... you had to have then newest edition of Tiger Beat?

[Daisy H]

Retro heaven---

Juice in a little astronaut foil pouch, who woulda thought?

Tiger Beat? My friends just recycled theirs to me (on loan)..

Speaking of which, David Cassidy is playing the Fallsview Casino on and around New Years (www.davidcassidy.com) if anyone needs a teen idol fix.

See, now I know some (if not all) of you still have one of these tucked away in a box up in the closet.

Com'on they were only 59 cents at Sattler's.

I have an original Smurf stuffed animal too.

Hey--I was at the Allentown art festival when the police tear gassed the Hell's Angels! Matter of fact--that's 3when the art festival was removed from Allentown over to Delaware--should've just been moved to Delaware park.
I just discovered this thread and love it.

[Night Owl]

Two Guys?? yep

4 Seasons restaraunts? oh, yeah!

The REAL Father Baker bridge um hmmm

WPHD 103.3 the best station to listen (any time) Now we're talkin'

I remember "the Big E" savings bank.

Oh and one of my 'all time' favs was when we would drive on the road under the airport run-way. I can't think of the name, but ... remembering when... it was to neatest tunnel.

[Night Owl]

Styx and Kiss albums! 45 records... singing "I will survive" into my hairbrush. (I'm going to regret saying that one out loud )

ha ha ha ha -- The York Steak House at the Thru-way Mall.

[Night Owl]

Oh, here's to the old "sky room"

[Daisy H]

Remember the commercial that went along with the "Talking Proud" campaign? I think they should resurrect that one.

Anyone grow up or live around Elmwood Avenue in the 70's? I have very vivid memories of what it used to be when I was a kid (back when I walked or rode my bike everywhere)..

Yeah, the concert ads for bands like STYX were so funny...a guy with a really deep voice announcing something like, "It's not an illusion..it's the concert of the decade...and they're gonna kick your a$$....STYYYYYYYXXXX"...(that was probably before "Babe" came out I'm thinking..lol)
