Today is the day to go back in time. It’s National Retro Day!

It’s your day to look back – and think of easy times.

According to National Day Calendar, Hermelinda A. Aguilar
and Robert and Tina Duran founded National Retro Day to
take a look back at how life was before social media, the
internet, and smartphones became a necessity of our daily
lives.

On February 27, 1827, a group of masked and costumed
students danced through the streets of New Orleans,
Louisiana, marking the beginning of the city’s famous
Mardi Gras celebrations.

Mardi Gras is French for "Fat Tuesday", reflecting the
practice of the last night of consuming rich, fatty foods
in preparation for the fasting season of Lent.

A beloved figure in the NASCAR broadcasting world has

Lorenz, who played an important role behind the scenes

and was hospitalized for 10 days and under Hospice care
