"News-Gazette, what were you like in the 90's?" Let's take a look, back in March, 1995.
Ah, the 90's! The trends, the fashion, the slang! For many, it doesn't feel like the 90's were that long ago, but 1995 was 31 years ago. A lot has changed, but there is something very important that has stayed the same: The News-Gazette is still reporting on the lives and events in our community!
The front page stories for March 22, 1995 were:
- A story about who will be on the local ballot in the fall elections, which would include the school board and sheriff's office.
- Two school board stories - One for the budget of Rockbridge County Schools, and another for the 'year-round' calendar of Buena Vista schools.
- A rural development specialist helps local officials plan for the future of economic development in our area
- An update on the Justice Department's suit against VMI in 1990 to "formulate, adopt, and fully and timely implement a plan to remedy fully their discriminatory policies."
The Lifestyle section features stories about a spring concert, the Blue Ridge Garden Club's historic homes and gardens tour, the Happy Cook offers a couple of spring recipes, and we get to see which movies were showing that weekend. Check out the "Tightwad Tuesdays" special price for Valley Cinemas in Buena Vista!
Next, you get to see what the typical 90's bride looked like in the Marriages section.
We finish up this blast from the past with the School Scene to look back on some school fashion and who made the honor roll!
