Opening of the New York City Subway
It was October 27, 1904 when the first underground line of the New York City subway opened.

The Rosen Report
Seven Times French and Seven Times British, St. Lucia Has Something for Everyone
by Cheryl Rosen
Friday October 27, 2023
It’s  got mountains and oceans, coral reefs and rain forests, mud baths and sulphur springs, and a drive-in volcano. There are affordable hotels with amazing views and well-known hospitality names like Sandals and Zoetry that hug the mountains and rest in the rainforests. While the weather is hot and the towns a little crowded, visitors will find an awful lot to love here—including “the most beautiful hotel room” and “the most beautiful spa” in the world. It’s easy to see why the French and the British fought over this island 14 times.
