I recently came to find out that the first time anyone anywhere in the world typed www. whatever and got an address was in the year 1989. The Berlin Wall collapsed as well that year. The war between Russia and Afghanistan ended. The Cold War ended too. Nirvana's first album, 'Bleach' was released on subpop records.
Mike Tyson was Heavyweight Champion of the world. In China the Tiananmen Square Protests were going down. 1989; The world was changing. That was the year me and my cousin and a friend on some innocent Saturday night were dropped off to see those zany heroes in a half shell, the Teen-Age Mutant Ninja Turtles on the big screen at the old Nichol's Plaza Theater on route 20 in Ashtabula; the one that was torn down a few years ago leaving only blank space so that now you'd never know in passing, that it ever really existed and that it was a great source of wonder and enjoyment as we were growing up.
