#20YearsAgoOnAOLcom: Aug. 20, 1999 -- Go Out and Play; Katie Holmes' New Movie

August 20, 1999: To kick off the weekend, we went with a generic outdoor fun promo--links for weather, local events, and maps & directions, using a beach pyramid stock photo:

[Series note: In the late 1990s, I programmed the content for the AOL.com home page, which relaunched with a new design on July 14, 1998. I printed screencaps and saved them. 20 years later, I'm scanning them in and posting them with a little commentary under the tag #20YearsAgoOnAOLcom.]
