Flashback Friday

Flashback Friday

This week, we had a request to head back to the 90s! We're taking a look at January 1993, and guess what? We had icy conditions back then too! Late January is when Rockbridge County shivers under ice and snow.

The front page stories include:

  • Plans for a youth sports complex, a new planning body for the county, rezoning for a lumber company, and Lexington's five-year improvement plan. January is the time for planning!
  • Murder trial for the 1990 fatal shooting of a Lexington woman moves forward.
  • The Lexington School Board voted a new member in, with an unusual split decision.
  • The Lexington Sears store will be closing from a franchise buy-out.

We also have a large Radio Shack ad, and an amazing front page of the sports section!

There are quite a few features in this issue that we don't have in the paper anymore, like the Dining Guide and the weather forecast. Let us know if you think we should bring back some of these features or sections of the newspaper, like "farm news" or the "Business" section. Comment on our N-G NOW newsletter post on Facebook or Instagram!
