Also - how do you get the video to embed properly?

I tried that before but it didn't seem to work. I actually thought, based on my personal settings, that it would automatically convert youtube links to embedded videos but that does not seem to be the case either. Oh well.

Sing it with me, '80s WPIX 11 watchers:

Wow looking at the front of it through google street view, they now have some scaffolding around the sign. Also I don't see any of the signs down the street as you see at the end when they're all outside.

Back then it was $43 per person, now its $180 per night.

Don't cut and paste any of the code provide by YouTube on its website under "share" or "embed." Cut and paste directly from your browser's address line to CD when you are in YouTube on the video's page. That's it.

Thanks! I'll give that a try here with another memorable old PSA:

My favorite Long Island jingle of all time:

Don't cross the street in the middle
in the middle
In the middle
in the middle
in the middle of the block!

Use your eyes to look up
Use your ears to hear
Walk up to the corner when the coast is clear
And wait!
And wait!
And wait!
Until you see the light turn green


Don't cross the street in the middle! - YouTube
