Lloyd Robertson...he was awesome. I can't even imagine how many times I watched him on the news.

I remember Ponderosa steak house. Had one in my hometown but i was to young to eat there. Used to love seeing the building though driving by with my parents. They were closed down by the time i was eating steak. Always wondered if it was any good. Love the tv show Bonanza too.

Wasn't always the good old days to be sure...The news items included a police officer shot: he was Michael Sweet. It happened at George's Bourbon Street Bar on Queen St. A horrible story. He attended a robbery at the bar, was shot gunned by junkie robbers and bled to death while they held him hostage despite his pleas. At the time, I lived around the corner part-time with my mom at Village by the Grange on McCaul as a 12 year old. Naturally, post-1960s Canadian justice was too lenient with the scum who did it.

Where's Earl?

[@my3dviews]

And Floyd. 😂

[@wmbrown6]

The latter was the namesake for SCTV News' Floyd Robertson (Joe Flaherty), though by some accounts, Flaherty based Floyd's persona and mannerisms as anchor after the dean of Pittsburgh TV news anchors, Bill Burns.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. In the end, it's all about speculation, when the country gets turned into a big casino then you have problems.

[@justin43098]

I miss Ponderosa soooo much. My great grandparents would take us to the one in North Bay, in the Fannies plaza.." whats Fannies?😮" lmao. Young me was a cheap date and loved the salsbury steak. So much that I thought it was a real cut, so ended up looking dumb ordering it at other restaurants. Just like all restaurants didnt have a shirley temple, BUT Its ok I knew how to make one! I must have been like dumber Young Sheldon.
