Brooklyn Today: January 10, 2012
Good morning. Today is the 10th day of the year. On this day in 1863, the first underground passenger railway, the London tubes, opened. Boston had the first subway system in the United States, followed by New York.
Well-known people who were born today include Brooklyn-born singer Pat Benatar (“Love Is a Battlefield”), singer-bandleader Frank Sinatra Jr. and singer Rod Stewart (“Reason to Believe,” “Maggie Mae,” “Every Picture Tells a Story”).
