Throwback Playlist

A Clash of the ’80s and ’90s If we haven’t said it already — Happy New Year, readers! As we enter into a new decade, I find that it’s always fun to reflect on past decades. Whether it’s watching old movies or our favourite television shows, reading literary classics or listening to the music that epitomized a specific era, being nostalgic can connect us to our history and bring about old memories in a positive way.
