Sue Johanson passed away this week. I remember hearing her radio show as a late teen, and no question raised during her show seemed taboo. Definitely a pioneer in the open discussion on the topic for youth at the time.

Sue Johanson was ahead (no pun intended) of her time. She helped a lot of confused people and dispelled so many myths. I used to watch her and thought she was so cool.
May she RIP.

Happy First of July

I was in Fredericton last July 1st and we needed to buy a hex wrench to take apart a bed frame. Not a single thing was open that had one.

My cousin moved from K-Beck to New Brunswick somewhere between Fredericton and Moncton.
He was saying something similar.
I'm looking forward to going there soon.

Thanks for the heads up. I always like trying local brew. Sadly cousin Phil has given up drinking so I'll be drinking alone. NTTAWWT

I think New Brunswick was one of the last holdouts on the no businesses allowed to be open on Sundays

"we" used to listen to her show while tuning skis and schlepping rentals up and down stairs, one of the guys who i worked with is still a buddy and i sent him the link to her death and he said he was taking the day off to mourn

Why is Timmy's coffee always lukewarm? And why do they guard the cream like it's nuclear secrets?

Because Timmy's sucks a big fat donut hole?

[Ted Striker]

Truth. But I was on a road trip, and they're generally right on the road (because there is only one road!) And I was desperate.

A&W has better coffee and can usually be found in the same locations.

[Ted Striker]

Now that's news I can use! Been a long time since I've had a Teen Burger too.

Peruvian and I had lunch at an A&W on our way back from the Chic-Chocs last January. Can't understand why they went out of business in the US (except for the one in Middlebury, VT). So much better than McD's

If you go back to the 70's a lot of Canada liked that coffee especialy back east, i remember being in Toro on course trying to find decent coffee on a weekend and there just wasn't any

When I was last a road warrior I would go thru the Timmy Ho's drive thru for the lunch skip the coffee and hit Starbucks drive thru for the coffe

We still have a few in Washington, but IMO they're a pale shadow of what they used to be (for instance, our local one is also a KFC). Though it could just be sentimentality. My grandfather owned an A&W in California when I was a kid, and I worked at a different one as a teenager.

[ex-powderbroker]

is it the same menu in the states? i can’t recall ever seeing one.

[riser4]

I've been to an A&W in Canada a few times. I prefer over a bunch of other drive thru. Mary Brown's though if I'm in the mood for fast-food chicken sandwich and don't mind going inside.

[XXX-er]

I've been in the back of some of them which is why I can't eat the food

but Timmy Ho's wasnt bad

[Ted Striker]

It definitely was the same menu up and down the west coast when I was a kid in the 80s, but WA and BC are completely different now. BC is much closer to the original.
