On this day in 1865, President Lincoln died. But we honor him with a tunnel nobody likes and a coin nobody uses.
On this day in 1912, the band kept playing as the Titanic sank. And probably could’ve picked a better song than “Splish Splash (I Was Taking a Bath).”
On this day in 1955, Ray Kroc opened his first McDonald’s franchise location in Illinois. And people were able to enjoy it because on this day in 1923, Insulin became available.
On this day in 1959, Castro visited the United States from Cuba. You could tell he was a dignitary because he beached in a hollowed-out limo.
On this day in 1947, Jackie Robinson became the first Black player in Major League Baseball history. While Sammy Sosa remains the only player to…switch hit.
Enjoy the present. And remember…The Garden’s Always Greener.
