Finally someone who remembers Toto's. Can you confirm the burgers were wrapped in red and white striped wax paper?

Weren't they chargrilled with grill marks on them like burger king? I can almost still taste them.


Yes, definitely had grill marks and the striped paper seems familiar.... but I can't recall for sure.

The delivery fellow was an older guy who shouted your room number when he showed up.

Helluva deal for a dollar. The burgers were good.

I'm trying to remember where Toto's was located.

Charlotte Jack taught my music class in grade school. I used to be pretty good friends with her son.

I watched that game. I think Bobby Ray Tell took the opening kickoff 99 yards for a TD.

Matt wasn't a prick he just thought very highly of himself sometimes. Rest of the Family was nice as could be.

31 pages and no mention of Monroe Civic Center and Mid South Wrestling. Going to the Civic Center to watch JYD or Hacksaw Duggan. Seemed like it was every other week they came to Monroe

165 and desired before 165 was elevated. You'd turn right coming from south Monroe and it was right there.

Spent many afternoons in her den with the electronic pianos wearing headphones and practicing "the burro" to play in front of the old folks on Saturday morning.

Nope but I was within spitting distance of their house. Good friends with them.

I debated going down that rabbit hole. That's a whole thread unto itself.

Bob Owens? Something like that. Spent many dark Saturday afternoons in that dungeon bowling and playing that scary space invaders pinball machine.
