1902 The first US theatre devoted solely to movies opened in Los Angeles. Housed in a circus tent, the venue was dubbed The Electric Theatre

That's interesting. I'd never heard of this before. I used to work in L.A. and been to movie theatres and different venues to see live plays. I wonder where it was located.

1905 The Simplon Tunnel under the Alps, linking Switzerland and Italy, was officially opened

I think I've been through it. We went through a long tunnel (which I was very happy to get out of) on a day trip with husband, Amy and Andrea.

1992 The worst racetrack fire in Canadian history killed 69 horses at the Mohawk Raceway near Guelph, Ontario

How awful. I don't remember hearing about this tragedy.
