I included that I was writing from West St Paul MN.
Quite a number of years ago, I was playing at Grizzly's in Apple Valley MN and won a Countdown quiz in early midafternoon.
Unbeknownst to me, the principle owner was at another of his restaurants in St Cloud MN, idly staring at a Buzztime screen which nobody was playing, questioning the wisdom of retaining the game. Just then, the scores were posted from the game I had won. He picked up his cell phone and called Apple Valley.
"Who is this guy, Yojo, who's playing trivia there?"
"He's a regular. Comes in every day for a few games."
"Well, take good care of him."
That conversation, as reported by the bartender, took place more than twenty years ago. Eventually the place was sold, and its name changed, but to this day it retains Buzztime.
