TTL News 308 Posted October 27, 2023 This will be an open chat thread for anyone ( although let's be honest, it'll mostly be Chris ) to wax nostalgic. A song, a commercial, a TV show or product you remember fondly, or have seen reference to and it jogged your memory? Tell us about it, and maybe you're not the only one who remembers it!

Chris 2,168 Posted October 27, 2023 80's kids, how many theme songs can you remember from this Saturday morning cartoon lineup? I can remember four: Muppet Babies, Pole Position, Pryor's Place, and Dungeons & Dragons. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adam 373 Posted October 28, 2023 last time we got a bike for aiden, putting that foam handlebar-pad in place reminds me of our BMX bikes, jumping the ditches, the "track" down in the pines on Courtright's. the other day, the smell of leaves reminded me of when folks would rake them up, either in small piles or out to the side of road and burn them off, or the big piles we jumped in...to this day cannot resist kicking my feet through any collection of leaves for the noise it makes 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ann 264 Posted November 5, 2023 I remember the eat at counters in Woolworth’s, I think Newbury’s had one too. Both stores were on West Water Street in Elmira when there was an actual downtown. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris 2,168 Posted November 6, 2023 I remember the cafe thing at KMart, and the one at McCrorys at the Mall. Aunt C. and I would have lunch there when she’d take me to the mall to spend my birthday money. I do remember Newberrys somewhat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris 2,168 Posted December 5, 2023 I saw this earlier: Someone described it as "Rockwelian", which I suppose it is in a way. For me, it's more a reminder of a time before we had a Toys R Us store in this area. It seemed like such a magical, far away place. I wanted to see it more than anything. Of course by the time we got one, I was older and it wasn't as big a deal. But once upon a time, it was. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris 2,168 Posted December 13, 2023 Once upon a time, TV looked like this for us: And we considered that picture worthy of recording!! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris 2,168 Posted January 13 I remember this stuff from my 6th grade year at Beecher ( also my first year in public school ). It wasn't great, but for some reason we went nuts when the lady came out and yelled "EXTRAS!!!" which meant you could have more for free. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember at Beecher it came in the little metal rectangle pans and you would get the cheese that would get stuck to the edges and have to scrape it off so delicious. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
