Lost history

The former Red Lion hotel at Jantzen Beach, site of most Orycons until it closes 7 years back caught fire last night.

Five alarms. 5 of the 6 buildings are *gone* and the 6th is badly damaged.

Lots of memories there. All gone.

How can anyone not know...

... what a "PeeChee type folder" is?

The local TV has been running a piece on back to school shopping, and one woman is reading off the list from her kids school and has *no* idea what that oitem is.

*Please* tell me that it's her, not that particular item having vanished from the public's consciousness sometime in the last 20-30 years.
