...if you're hungry, call The Lydo. FREE DELIVERY!
Eventually, the Internet coughs up everything--and apparently, seven months ago someone found and uploaded a ubiquitous hometown ad to YouTube. The local earworm was heard on TV and radio throughout the 80s. I shrieked with delight last night to hear the jingle; it had been decades. Although I sang it to myself at times, it was just not the same.
The Lydo was a legendary Chinese restaurant, located at 9203-111 Street NW, which opened in 1966 and closed down in 2003. The food was not great, yet somehow it managed to stay in business until family problems forced the closure in 2003. Today, the building is a sleek catering business.
