For Those Who Lived Or Worked In Toronto Or London

This isn't radio related, but I know we have a number of either current or former London, Ont. members who might find this of interest. 

If You Grew Up In London, Ontario, You Will Remember When...

And here's one for current and former T.O. residents who go back awhile:

Friends Who Like Vintage Toronto

Re: For Those Who Lived Or Worked In Toronto Or London

Thanks for posting. I live in London but didn't grow up here. In fact, I was in my twenties the first time I ever set foot in the town when I came here on business for three days.

Coming from the bush up on the Bruce Peninsula, London seemed to me then like a big city. It never entered my mind that I might some day live here.

What impressed me was that London had 4 radio stations. Three AM and one FM. Any city with more than one radio station was big league.

It wasn't until 1996 that we moved here. I had a job offer I couldn't refuse. Initially the job was to be in Toronto, but at the last minute they decided to fill a vacancy in London instead.

I had hoped to go back up north when I retired. But I could never get my wife to leave here now.


After all is said and done, more is usually said than done.
