MILESTONES: January 25, birthdays for Alicia Keys, Michael Trevino, Jack Fowler
Brooklyn Today
Greetings, Brooklyn. Today is the 25th day of the year.
On this day in 1948, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle front page reported on a blizzard that had hit New York City the previous night, and on the city’s preparedness and mobilization campaign. Mayor William O’Dwyer appealed the citizens to help in the storm recovery efforts by clearing the areas around the fire hydrants and removing cars from the streets so they could be opened for essential traffic.
