National Donut Day '25 Jukebox

[Tom McAndrew]

come on now, we can't be using last week's jukebox for another weekend/week.

Today is the D-Day anniversary. Earlier this week was the Battle of Midway anniversary. Sex and the City premiered on TV on this date in 1998. The first drive-in theater in the USA opened on this day in 1933 in Camden, NJ. President Andrew Jackson took a ride on the Iron Horse (as train locomotives were called at that time) on this date in 1833, becoming the first President to ride a train. President Franklin Pierce was, on this day in 1856, denied his party's nomination at the Democratic Party national convention in Cincinnati, becoming the first sitting President to be denied his party's nomination for a 2nd term. On this day in 1971, "The Ed Sullivan Show" aired for the last time, ending a 23-year run on TV. Celebrate any of these events, PSU's big weekend of official visits, or anything that has you humming, singing, smiling, or dancing about today or this weekend.
