9 Newsworthy Notes That Occurred on March 9

By Michelle Carr Crowe, Silicon Valley real estate guide selling homes in San Jose

If you’ve read my www.ActiveRain.com/Resultsblog, you know one of the pastimes I enjoy is learning new facts and interesting pieces of history.

Sometimes I come across intriguing stories while reading our local San Jose Mercury News , or one of my favorite magazines Mental Floss or  Smithsonian. I also find articles and facts online at Wikipedia,The History Place, Brainy History,Dates In History, History Orb or the National Geographic Society. Today’s collection of facts was found at The People History.

While these interesting items pique my curiosity, they (usually) have nothing to do with my real estate business, which is helping people like you buy and sell homes in Silicon Valley, Calif. and beyond. I admit, learning new facts just adds fun and joy to my brain, soul and life.

Here are today’s 9 Newsworthy Notes That Occurred on March 9. I hope you find them interesting, too.
