These Curious Facts About The Past Will Reshape Anyone’s Sense Of Time

The Wall Street Journal published its first edition the same year that the Eiffel Tower was inaugurated

Most people cannot imagine the city of Paris without the Eiffel Tower, but in fact, it is a relatively new addition since it was inaugurated in 1889. By contrast, the Wall Street Journal published its first edition in that same year and is still in print today.
