Everyday I try to think of a cool flashback to share with you. Today, instead of coming up with one, I found a video that will recap your entire childhood if you grew up in the 90's.
I love vintage videos, especially of our area. Thanks to our friend M.L. Baron, I was able to discover this video of Route 195 being constructed over the Acushnet River.

Alanis Morissette song "Ironic" went to the top of the charts fast. Some music critics, even some of her fans claimed the lyrics to "Ironic" weren't really that ironic.
Dustin Hoffman was the leading actor in the movie "Tootsie". You can see the trailer below. A video has gone viral and the video is of him breaking down a bit as he discusses his role in the movie.

This is going to be a tough one to vote for. Both movies are very iconic and there are many fans of both. I bet you wish there was a way you could vote for both movies.
