Wow I'm old. Went through this whole thread and from start to finish, these are my relevant experiences to the content in here. Lots of great memories.
Partied on red mile
Glass floor at Husky tower
Met Barb Higgins at career day fair In Junior High, and not gonna mention where I met tammi Chrostopher..hehe.
Set fire to the hill above Bow Bottom near the Bonavista Downs (its only a kilometere up the road from Fisk creek park)
Who hasn’t been to the zoo? Have you had your picture taken with the brontosaurus?
Drove two hours north for a good laugh.... and some easy tail.
Sang Christmas carols on buckshot with my kindergarten class.
Played hockey in the dome in the Macs tourney.
Hello Calgary…. “Makes no difference where I go, you’re the best town that I know…..”
Burger Inn… Try the ostrich.
Drunk on electric…. I could be found on the top floor of city limits rockin out to some good ole hair metal.
Bars across from McMahon… i liked Yucitan.
Know the backgrounds in FUBAR. Went to school with Mike Dowse and was friends with TRON growing up.
Illusions arcade… also don’t forget Wizards castle. My haunt was the one in Deer Valley mall.
Been to see the Flames and Wranglers in the Corral.
Kid street… remember how everyone got a free pair of Rucanors for being on that show? My friend that went on was so proud of his crappy shoes.
Watched cool runnings… I was an extra!
Be a Trudeau / NEP hater. It almost bankrupt our family growing up. I'll never forget the day I came home to find my dad (electrical engineer) who is the toughest SOB alive balling with his face buried in his hands because he lost his job, and we were going to lose our home as well.
Public skated at oval, skied at Paskapoo, wintergreen and fortress.
Had Bruce Hart as an english sub in Grade 9.
Been to Boomers, still have my free soccer ball from when they would kick them into the stands at the intro. Cannons (mini helmet sundaes were awesome) and the 88’s. What was the name of those guys that sat in the end bleachers with skull caps?
GT snow racing is done across the road from the 8th hole on Maple ridge Golf course. Back then it was hole 1 of 9.
Corral 4 was awesome. Never forget puking grape crush all over the back seat of the Torino wagon there watching ‘The Black Hole’ And yes also saw T2 about 6 times at Southcentre and Southland cinemas.
And to finalize, as mentioned a lot in the thread. Got uber excited to hear the words ‘hello hockey Fans’ and never got tired of watching Ed getting into it with JR Foley at 1:30 every Saturday afternoon.
Thanks for digging up 35 years of awesome memories with this thread. Its amazing how much you forget about your own life until your reminded.
