She finally got the scoop from the woman who looked after me during the day. I can only imagine what was going through her mind. :)<BR/><BR/>That part of North York was built in the mid-1960s. I was under the impression Sesame Street started on TV at the end of the 60s (according to Wikipedia, the very end: November, 1969). So, sad to say, it's unlikely that it was a result of anyone being deliberately cute. Sesame Street in Toronto was probably named such a few years before the show hit the air, and it would have been the early 70s before it was a household name in Canada, as evidenced by my mother's reaction several years later. Just a coincidence, but a funny one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12941086.post-1138689891083023982006-01-31T01:44:00.000-05:002006-01-31T01:44:00.000-05:00Hmmn, for some reason I did grow up thinking for a...Hmmn, for some reason I did grow up thinking for a while that Sesame Street was in TO.

We can see the looming doom in the distance Wal-mart represents... but we can't stop -- just today, just one more time -- sneaking through those doors to indulge in paying for what three would cost you elsewhere and getting five.<BR/><BR/>Maybe it's time we turned it all over to the raccoons... maybe they'll do better. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12941086.post-1138257196722399082006-01-26T01:33:00.000-05:002006-01-26T01:33:00.000-05:00So, you're subliminally saying we should stop shop...So, you're subliminally saying we should <I>stop</I> shopping at Wal-Mart? ; ) Leave it to me to point out the obvious.
