Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

That's really nice. Actually, I still use a phonebook from time to time. Sometimes, (for the yellow pages business sections) I prefer the way the pages are laid out, versus the online listings.

I don't think that the online view captures my attention, as much as the ad placement on the paper (Yellow) pages. Perhaps it's because it's so fast to scroll or flip screens online, versus a slower approach to turning pages in the book. That extra second on a paper page could translate into a sale.

In our phonebooks, we also had street maps of the area, which came in handy.

My big issue is that they allow paid ads to show up at the top of the pages regardless of relevance...for example, online car parts dealers instead of ones that have brick-and-mortar stores locally. It's like they're trying to be mini-google.

Wisconsin wins! If we beat Minnesota next week, then win in the Big Ten Championship, there's no way we can be kept out of the playoffs.

The home pictured is Melville House, now called the Bell Homestead; the place where Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone.

I haven’t been in the Homestead in decades, but I drive by it at least once a year. It’s a very pretty piece of property.

How appropriate that they chose to use Alexander Graham Bell's house on the cover of your phonebook. I'm really impressed with that.

Well ... Brantford is called “The Telephone City” for a reason.

U Memphis scored 62 against SMU in basketball last spring. Today they scored 66 against them - in football.

I used to take my kids there individually for the day for some Mom time back in the day. Good times and good memories!

The cookie butter ones actually sound quite good. If I come across them in the grocery store, I will take one for the team and become our official taste tester.

That was always my biggest complaint as a child whenever I was having an Oreo....there's just not enough cheese on it.

Way to go, Nabisco.
