Hurricane Katrina makes landfall near New Orleans, Louisiana, as a Category 4 hurricane on this day in 2005. Despite being only the third most powerful storm of the 2005 hurricane season, Katrina was the worst natural disaster in the history of the United States. After briefly coming ashore in southern Florida on August 25 as a Category 1 hurricane, Katrina gained strength before slamming into the Gulf Coast on August 29. In addition to bringing devastation to the New Orleans area, the hurricane caused damage along the coasts of Mississippi and Alabama, as well as other parts of Louisiana.

Produced with an estimated budget of $3 million, Animal House became a huge, multi-million-dollar box-office hit, spawned a slew of cinematic imitations and became part of pop-culture history with such memorable lines as “Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son.”

Kansas City is jazz..
Without the likes of Pendergast and Lazia, this awesome revolution in the music scene would never have happened the way that it did......

Please like our page, share it, and contact Union Station to let them know that Kansas City wants this permanent exhibit. This is a grassroots effort to tell an important story.

The Union Station Massacre is one of the most important events in the history of law enforcement, mob history, and the public enemy era. A permanent, detailed exhibit deserves the space in beautiful Union Station.

Our story is connected to Hot Springs, AR, and begins with the arrest of Frank Nash, and closes with convictions of several underworld figures from from all over.
Thanks.

Please show your support by dropping by our page, and contacting Union Station about this.
