Hey there, it's Kathy. I just wanted to let you know that you can listen to History of the 90s

early and ad-free on Amazon music included with Prime.

Hey there, it's Kathy. I'm taking a short break, but I wanted to share something that I think you will like.

This is Avonlea, a fictional Prince Edward Island town that likes its drama with plenty of zip and enthusiasm.

At the center of it all is one large family who doesn't always get along, but they do care a great deal for one another.

In this episode of Canadian History X, host Craig Baird shares the story of the 90s TV show Road to Avonlea.

It captured the magic of how this little town and its citizens grew up, lived, married, and died at the beginning of the 20th century.

And in the process, it changed Canadian TV history forever. I'll be back in two weeks with a brand

new episode. Until then, hope you enjoy Canadian History X.

I've lived in Alberta for most of my life, except for a few years in British Columbia and

Saskatchewan. I'd like to move away from Alberta one day. Now, don't get me wrong, it's a nice

province with friendly people, but I'm always looking

to find somewhere new.

The top three places I want to live are Vancouver Island, in a cabin along a lake somewhere

in Ontario, and on Prince Edward Island.

Why Prince Edward Island, you ask?
