Hey PLommer,

Do you remember the old ticker tape machines?

 

[betplom]

No I don't remember that, I do remember this game though.

I used to be the best player in Rexdale - Bowlerama. Now I can't even remember the name of it.

Programming in Basic on a TI-99 for hours with said goal to be to play the crappiest pick a path game in text known to man.

I'm not sure. I remember walking at the end of Benway Dr. across a field to get to what I think was a grocery store. I remember always going to the Taco Bell on Kipling which was really close to your house. I'm sure you remember it. I worked up the road off of Racine on Haas Rd. That was the summer of 87.

The power lines in the background tells me it was close to the field i used to cut across to get to a mini mall or outdoor type of plaza.

Yeah I remember Taco Bell, Kipling Ave (on the west side) was one long strip of restaurants,KFC, McDonalds, Loves steak House, Mothers Pizza, Wendy's, Ponderosa Steak House (Now a Funeral Home) Churchs Fried Chicken.

We moved from Rexdale in late 1987 to Maple Ontario (Keele/Major Mackenzie).

If you crossed the field at the end of Benway you would be walking east towards Islington, there used to be a Dominion grocery store in the Rexdale mall (Islington/Rexdale).

I used to cut the grass of many businesses on Racine as a teen, I would take my old mans lawn mower and ask local businesses if they wanted their lawns mowed for $5 or $10, depending on the size.
