This Day in History: March 24

On this day in 1900, the New York City began building its subway system. Or as rats called it, “urban renewal.”

On this day in 1976, football legend Peyton Manning was born. The doctor was like, “Here comes his head, and…more of his head and…still more head and…okay finally, the eyes…”

On this day in 1765, Great Britain passed the quartering act, requiring colonists to house British soldiers. While colonists demanded at least four stars on TripAdvisor.

On this day in 1874, Harry Houdini was born. And he came all the way out despite wearing handcuffs, chains, and a straight jacket.

On this day in 1989, the Exxon Valdez crashed and spilled 11 million gallons of oil. Or, almost as much as they found at Diddy’s.

Enjoy the present. And remember…The Garden’s Always Greener.
