1976 nostalgia looks different when you weren't born yet. From parents' childhood stories to a surprisingly passionate rock-album endorsement, this Throwback Thursday offers a chance to compare the year you remember with the one another generation imagines.

Flin Flon supplies the childhood setting and a statue best approached with some awareness of the viewing angle. Toronto supplies a giant antenna that still looks futuristic. Which details stick: the places that shaped a childhood, the music inherited later, or the landmark everyone keeps looking up at?

Meanwhile, an Alberta photograph has triggered an urgent Ontario grocery search. Eggnog in October sounds absurdly early to one person and overdue to another. Hear how the hunt interrupts the trip down memory lane, and which text threatens to bring the entire show to an immediate halt.
