TVO Turns 50!

On September 27, 1970, TVOntario (TVO) came on to the airwaves in Ontario for the first time. That moment changed local television in Ontario forever. As a kid of the 1980s, a lot of educational programming my parents made my sister and I watch came from TVO (and CBC).

I have hinted at a few experiences within Boston that I have enjoyed, such as my visit to the JFK Presidential Museum and the tour of Fenway Park on its 100th anniversary, so it is time to look back on my trip to Boston back in 2012.
