This week, Annalisa catapulted back three-decades to 1994. The year that England and France are connected by the 31-mile long Chunnel (officially the Channel Tunnel), top movies include Pulp Fiction, The Lion King, and Forrest Gump, and the baseball season is canceled due to the Major League Baseball Players Association strike. The White Sox ended the season in first place, the Cubs in fifth place. Here's everything Annalisa played:

Next week, join Johnny Mars for a trip to the turn of the century. In 2000, Peanuts published the final original comic strip on February 13 (the day after creator Charles Schulz passed away), the first ever USB flash drive debuted (with 8MB of storage; enough memory to hold two high-res pictures), and fewer than 42% of U.S. homes had internet access (nearly 95% of U.S. homes are connected today).
Oh, and Johnny Mars and (then 20-year-old WXRT intern) Ryan Arnold peddled their bicycles from Minneapolis to Chicago in the fifth annual Twin Cities to Chicago AIDS Ride.
