Friday Flashback Heritage Month Edition: Traveling Forward to the Past

As we celebrate Southland Heritage Month, we’re traveling forward to the past—straight to 1 January 2000. The turn of the millennium was a time of anticipation, and we’re bringing back a glimpse of life in Southland as it was then.

In today’s feature, you’ll find a mix of news from the day, classified ads, houses and cars for sale, what was on TV and even the movie listings from Movieland 5. It’s a snapshot of what locals were reading, watching, and selling as the year 2000 dawned.

This nostalgic journey offers a fascinating look at how our community has evolved—and how some things remain timeless. Take a moment to reflect on where we’ve come from as you travel forward to the past.
