The year Pink Floyd released The Wall, Sony released the first Walkman, Kramer vs. Kramer, Apocalypse Now and The Muppet Movie were three of the top grossing movies, ESPN debuted their longest running program SportsCenter and 21 inches of snow fell on Chicago and Northwest Indiana in less than two days.
