Housing prices in a fifteen-year-old newspaper will do something to your stomach that no current data report can. $399,000, brand new, in a neighbourhood now selling near a million. Someone bought a house for $153,000 that same year, standing at the outskirts of a city that has since swallowed the neighbourhood whole.

 

There's a specific feeling that comes with finding proof of a world that closed without announcing it. An archive full of what was advertised, what was affordable, what was possible. It isn't nostalgia exactly. It's more like evidence.

 

The rest of today's good news: a pig named Merlin just broke a Guinness World Record for Instagram followers, and hospital volunteers in Charlottetown are showing up to give patients proper hair washes and blow dries. Some days the good news is small and perfect.
