I always get a kick out of reading those "what was happening the year you were born" things so I thought it only appropriate that on my birthday I would post a little info on what things were like on this day back in 1970. Enjoy
The US population reached 205 million
The US lowered the voting age to 18
The first New York Marathon is run
The first computer chess tournament took place
The LCD was invented
The Beetles were disbanded
A gallon of gas was 36 cents
A postage stamp was 6 cents
A 1 carat diamond ring was $299
Average income was $9,400
Average house was $23,450
and my favorite - An 8 track tape player for the car was $38.99
I hope everyone has a great day!
TheGov, out
