4) In case you missed it: The city received a helping hand from the state for creating more recreation opportunities at Whispering Hill in Ward 7.

 

5) Hostage crisis ends: On this day in 1980, the Iran Hostage Crisis ends. Just moments after Pres. Ronald Reagan was inaugurated, the 52 American hostages being held in Iran were released. The hostages were originally taken when militant Iranian students stormed the U.S. Embassy. Weeks later, the Ayatollah took over the situation, releasing non-U.S. captives, American women and American minorities. The remaining 52 hostages were held for 14 months.
