I remember this. You will, too, if you grew up in the tri-state area during the 1980s!

(ah, commercial nostalgia.)

I also remember that. And I didn't even have to grow up in the 5 boroughs to do it. I RULE!!!

Hehe.

[offbalance.livejournal.com]

Good point - we all shared TV stations..I'll change it to Tri-state area.

[drewness.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Hehe. =)

[alcestis.livejournal.com]

Took the words right out of my mouth! ;)

[drewness.livejournal.com]

And you bit my finger! That wasn't nice!!

Heh =)

I didn't even watch the clip, and all I can hear is "The Milford Plaza is the lullaby of old broadway"!

[offbalance.livejournal.com]

Hee! Exactly!

I was so excited a few years ago when I used their bathroom! lol

[offbalance.livejournal.com]

I think I remember that!

[dkellergrl.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow. I do remember that commercial and $46/per night?!

[offbalance.livejournal.com]

Seriously. I don't even think you can get a hotel TOWEL for $46/night anymore. But then again, this was the early 1980s, and this place was on 8th avenue and 42nd street! They had to be cheap!

[dkellergrl.livejournal.com]

Yup. That was before that area got "Disneyfied".

[offbalance.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Back when there was a Porn Theater where the Laugh Factory is now.

[feminist-poet.livejournal.com]

I remember that!!!

[offbalance.livejournal.com]

The plates! The plates! The plates were ON FIRE!

[feminist-poet.livejournal.com]

HEEHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[neoguardian.livejournal.com]

Definitely. But that somehow doesn't strike me as something exclusively from the past...I still here that sometimes, I think?

[offbalance.livejournal.com]

That's true. I saw it on tv a few months back and promptly lost my mind. My family thought I was nuts, but I don't care.

[herrsprengstoff.livejournal.com]

We don't _think_ you're nuts... ^_^

[offbalance.livejournal.com]

pbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbt!! :P

(also, it takes one to know one!!!)

Wonder if I can find the Garden State Brickface and Stucco commercial....

[offbalance.livejournal.com]

OOH. You should. Or AAAAAAAAAAMENDOLA'S! The Fence Company!!!

[erratic0101.livejournal.com]

Hmm, don't remember that one.

[quodlibetic.livejournal.com]

I'm really glad they made the Children's Aid Socieuh-teeeee...

[offbalance.livejournal.com]

Ah, Saturday morning cartoon commercials!
