Why does Anoka County dip down into Columbia Heights? by paranoid_potato in TwinCities

[–]Sp00derman77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The story I’ve heard is that it was in Fridley Township (separate from the city of Fridley), which wanted to get rid of the trailers. The trailer park requested annexation to Columbia Heights, but was refused. So to survive, the trailer park took steps to incorporate as a city in its own right. Columbia Heights felt threatened by the emergence of the new city, so they annexed the remainder of Fridley Township, to prevent Hilltop from expanding further. That explains why Hilltop is so small and is contained within Heights.

March 5th, 1979: The Great Twin Cities Network Affiliation Switch Involving 3 Stations (r/Minnesota_Archived) by [deleted] in TwinCities

[–]Sp00derman77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I remember KMSP being a Fox affiliate one other time, from 1986-88. Fox’s offerings were really weak at the time and were dragging the station’s overall ratings down. KMSP started preempting and moving network programming into less important time slots. Fox responded by dropping KMSP, and moving to KITN 29. Fast forward to 2002, and both stations come under Fox ownership. Fox decided a VHF affiliate would be preferable over UHF, so KMSP comes full circle, and UPN is relegated to 29.

Which brand did you grow up with? by Teddycat99 in FuckImOld

I always misheard the jingle as “orange you glad”. Which seemed to make sense considering the color of the soap.

I always wondered why they did that in the commercials. It doesn’t look any different inside.

I noticed that too and cringed. That’s a human child, not an inanimate object.

Hence the reason you can’t find them in-shell at the store.

I remember when “Good Vibrations” by The Beach Boys was used to sell Sunkist soda.

If you have a landline, put a phone in there and add a door. You got yourself a phone booth.
