On this day in 1775, Paul Revere set off on his famous midnight ride to warn that the British were coming. Whereas today, he’d tweet, “Brits OTW, #NoCap.”
On this day in 1958, a record 78,682 fans watched the Dodgers play the Giants at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. It was such a big crowd, the wave still hasn’t made its way back around.
On this day in 1955, the first “Walk/Don’t Walk” street lights were installed. Followed by the first a-hole pretending to run through the crosswalk in slow motion against the signal.
On this day in 1521, Martin Luther remained defiant at the Diet of Worms. Incidentally, “Diet of Worms” is what RFK Jr. suggests instead of Ozempic.
On this day in 1975, John Lennon gave his final public performance. He sang “Stand By Me,” “Imagine,” and, of course, “No Scrubs.”
Enjoy the present. And remember…The Garden’s Always Greener.
