On this day in 1506, Christopher Columbus died. Nobody ever goes looking for his grave - they just discover it by mistake.
On this day in 1927, Charles Lindbergh took off across the Atlantic in The Spirit of St. Louis. Even crazier, on this day in 2025, a plane at Newark Airport almost took off.
On this day in 1992, Chicago banned the sale of spray paint to stop graffiti vandalism - and called the paint a "weapon of terror." And if you don't consider paint a weapon of terror, you've clearly never had a toddler.
On this day in 1989, Sunday Silence won the Preakness Stakes by a nose. Which is impressive, as the runner-up was Adrien Brody.
On this day in 1993, 93 million people tuned into the finale of Cheers. If you still wanna see some sad Bostonians drink all day, just drop in on some Celtics fans.
Enjoy the present. And remember…The Garden’s Always Greener.
