I recently read in The Transylvania Times (the
paper of record for Brevard) that past issues have been
digitized up through early 1975 and are
available online. Way cool! So I picked an arbitrary issue to look through,
January 9TH, 1975 and learned a bit of the history of the bed and breakfast we stay
in, and some ads for movies I've never heard of but it was page 14 that left
me speechless—it was an add for printing jobs done by the Transylvania
Times:
We Print Anything But Money—
But Our Presss Has Even Proved Itself Capable Of Doing That!
The Transylvania Times. (Brevard N.C.) 1931-current, January 09, 1975,
SECTION A, Page 14, Image 14 · North Carolina Newspapers
It left me speechless, but only because I was laughing so hard.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
