Update and today in history

Hello opinion4u bloggers! I have some rather good news, bad news, and some facts for you!  For starters, I, Hunter Mauer, have officially taken over the site from everyone else! If you have any ideas on how to improve the site, feel free to comment here. Bad news is here as well. As you may know, Hurricane Sandy is ripping through the east coast of the United States. The base of operations of opinion4u is in the northeast, so we may be without power for a couple of days. High winds expected... However, to prepare for this, I will tell you the facts up to Wednesday. I will keep you all updated.

On October 27, 1994, the United States prison population tops one million for the first time in history!

On October 28, 1886, President Grover Cleveland dedicates the famous gift from France, the Statue of Liberty, in New York Harbor.

On October 29..... DAILY DOUBLE!
 In the year of 1929, the New York stock change collasped, creating havoc. This event is known as the unoffical start of the Great Depression.
Last year, the northeast experienced a huge snow storm, power was out for a week!

On October 30, 1918, the Ottoman Empire signed an armistice with the Allies, ending the war in the middle east of World War I.



Hope to see everyone tomorrow, but until then, stay safe.
