    This day in History

    Good Morning. Today is Thursday May 24, 2012. On this day in 1883 the Brooklyn Bridge was opened to traffic. It is hard to believe this bridge has been in service that long.

    It makes me feels old to say that I remember well the Centennial celebration.

    But I think it 86, no? I say that not because I Googled it, but because I remember having a certain girlfriend at the time. And I don't think I had any girlfriend in '83.

    Happy Birthday GPB - you've always been one of the wisest posters here. Seriously.

    Correction to my earlier post. I was thinking about Statue of Liberty centennial.

    Good morning. Today is Sunday, May 27th.
    On this day in 1930 The 1,046-foot (319-meter) Chrysler Building in New York City, the tallest man-made structure at the time, opens to the public.
    My favorite NYC building.

    Good Afternoon. Today is Monday May 28.

    On May 28, 1957, National League owners vote unanimously to allow the New York Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers to move to San Francisco and Los Angeles, respectively, at the mid-season owner’s meeting in Chicago, Illinois.
    I never said I had no idea about most of the things you said I said I had no idea about.

    That is what caused my father, and then by extension me, to become a METS fan.

    Good Morning. Today is Thursday, May 31, 2012. On this day in 1889 the Johnstown Flood occurred virtually wiping out Johnstown, PA. The flooding was caused by catastrophic collapse of a damn 14 miles upstream.
    Also, my daughter was born in 1991.

    Good morning. Today is Friday, June 1st.
    On this day in 1980, CNN began the first all news cable channel.
    32 years later, and the majority of their dwindling viewership are folks waiting for their planes in airport terminals.
