Alright, Philly folks – time to bust out your old Iverson jerseys, dust off that Boyz II Men CD, and get ready for a nostalgia-packed adventure. We're cranking up the Delorean and hitting 88 miles per hour straight back to the '90s. This isn't about revisiting the epic Phillies '93 World Series run (ouch, too soon?) or our beloved Flyers' battles on the ice. No, we're talking about the start of something equally exciting (to us at least) and, quite frankly, a little weird. Get ready, we're diving headfirst into the dawn of Philly's Internet era.

Yes, the '90s web was an absolute dumpster fire of clashing colors, outrageous fonts, and cringe-worthy designs. But it also represented a time of innovation and discovery, much like our beloved Philadelphia. It was the wild west of the digital age where everything was possible and nothing was off-limits. So, here's to the '90s Internet - you were beautifully chaotic, uniquely Philly, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
