#20YearsAgoOnAOLcom: Oct. 30, 1999 -- Halloween Eve
October 30, 1999: More stock art for a pre-Halloween package. I think "Haunted Houses" would have been an AOL Local/Digital Cities feature, whose content was universally narrow and shallow:

October 28, 1999: Nothing too special, leading with a fairly colorful PC shopping promo up top:
For the PM update, we went once again with that weird rose-tinted Love@AOL promo; if you look down in the corporate links section, you see that AOL announced a 2-for-1 stock split. That definitely made the employees happy:

For the PM update, we went with something decided out of the ordinary -- the big news story was the recovery of a Woolly mammoth from Siberia.
Of course, there was another story involving Russia and the former Soviet Union: a Russian ballistic missile attack on Grozny. That one would rate a few My News text headlines, but not more than that.
You can also see a three-item helping.org ad jackpot in the ad block:

For the PM update, we went with another generic Love@AOL photo personals promo, though I notice we hadn't used the actual Love@AOL branding in the most-recent promos.
