1842 Adolphus Busch – German born US brewer and businessman. He founded Anheuser-Busch, the world's largest brewery

They drink a lot of beer in Germany. When I was there it was common to see mailmen delivering mail holding a can of beer. Beer gardens are pretty popular too. While in Munich we went to one. They sold it opening in the gardens along with giant pretzels, which were yummy.

1946 Canada's first drive-in theatre opened in Stoney Creek, near Hamilton, Ontario

In Riverside, CA, where I grew up, the drive-in I went to is still there and operational. They put up a second screen opposite the original one on the other side of the parking lot. Now they can have two movies to choose from. It has flea markets on weekends too. That's the only one I know of in SoCal anymore. It's call Rubidoux Drive-In Theatre. My brothers used to walk to it to see movies like The Thing. There was an inside seating area in the concession stand for people who walked in. One whole wall was glassed in to view the movie. They also had a covered area outside with a TV. TV was so new not everyone had one. They could watch the news, boxing matches and sometimes old movies. There was a playground for kids. People used to come early so they could enjoy the experience before it got dark and the movie started. There was always a news reel and cartoons before the movie started. It was quite a lovely drive-in.
