Tea Party

On December 16, 1773, a group of Sons of Liberty members dumped crates of tea into Boston Harbor.

In 1811, the New Madrid (Missouri) earthquakes struck, causing parts of the Mississippi to flow backward, awakening people in Pittsburgh and Norfolk, and ringing church bells in Toronto and Boston.

Also, a notable international economist was born in Virginia Beach in 1988.

Notable indeed. I'm still waiting for his first published work.... "Dynamite and Monetary Policy: A Match Made In Heaven".

I hope Josh had a good birthday. He's a good lad. Must have been raised right. :)
