[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in Lake Braddock in the 1970s and 80s. We had a People's in Kings Park - when my dad was feeling particularly generous he'd give my oldest brother a dollar bill and the four kids each got to spend 25 cents - there was no tax so we each got a candy bar or pack of Bubble Yum.

We had missionhurst priests at Holy Spirit out in the wilds of Annandale, before the Catholic Church made us part of a diocese. Our priests were from Belgium and they were SO NICE - and you could only understand every third word they said, their accents were that strong.

I also remember Snippets (channel 20?) and taking field trips. It was the only time any of us got a can of soda - somehow every mom knew to pack a can wrapped in tin foil. Everyone are their lunch and drank their soda by like 6:00 am on the bus :)

Braddock Road soccer was the best - everyone played. Everyone played high school soccer too - not just club - and we sincerely hated our rivals.

Anyone remember Burger Chef?[/quote]
