Take me back to October 9th, 1993!

Let's take a stroll down memory lane!

The date is October 9th, 1993, and it's a Saturday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Libra. People are currently enjoying their weekend.

The summer is long gone. Temperatures have started to become much cooler and the evenings are beginning to get darker. Fallen leaves have carpeted driveways, lawns, pathways, and sidewalks. There is also a fresh, earthy scent in the air. In America, the song Dream Lover by Mariah Carey is at the top of the singles charts.

Over in the UK, Boom Shake The Room by Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince is the number-one hit song. Bill Clinton is the President of the United States, and the movie Malice is at the top of the box office. John Major is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

On television, people are watching popular shows such as "Star Trek: The Next Generation", "One Foot in the Grave", "Baywatch", and "Walker, Texas Ranger". Texting is not a thing yet. Instead, people are using landline phones and pagers. Furthermore, most people have never heard of the Internet. In fashion, many of the trends from the late 1980s are still in vogue. Colored tights, denim overalls, leotards, flannel shirts, and shoulder pads are all fashionable at the moment. Grunge fashion has also become mainstream, popularizing band t-shirts, ripped jeans, mom jeans, and Doc Martens.

A war is continuing to rage in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Meanwhile, in technology news, a relatively new storage format called the CD is beginning to outpace the regular cassette tape in music sales. The disc-based format gives listeners the ability to skip between songs instead of having to manually rewind and forward. A playing discs game called "Pogs" is currently spreading in popularity throughout the world.

It's 1993, so radio stations are being dominated by the likes of Meat Loaf, UB40, Snow, Haddaway, Whitney Houston, Take That, Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey. A new teen sitcom called "Boy Meets World" has made its debut on ABC. The new show chronicles the everyday life of Philadelphia student Cory Matthews. Meanwhile, Chuck Norris' new show "Walker, Texas Ranger" has also started showing on CBS. A new crime film called "A Bronx Tale" has just been released in movie theaters. A new comedy movie called "Cool Runnings", starring John Candy, has also made its big screen debut.

In Mogadishu, Somalia, a battle between US forces and militiamen loyal to warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid has resulted in the deaths of 19 American soldiers. In Russia, the army has stormed the parliament building in Moscow on the orders of President Boris Yeltsin. This follows a constitutional crisis that began last month after Yeltsin attempted to dissolve the Supreme Soviet. In basketball news, Chicago Bulls star Michael Jordan has just announced that he will be retiring from the NBA.

Meanwhile, a new sci-fi movie called Demolition Man, starring Wesley Snipes and Sylvester Stallone, has recently been released in movie theaters. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Vincent Price, River Phoenix, Frank Zappa, and Bill Hicks would all still be alive. People are playing video games such as "X-Men", "Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind", "Syndicate", and "Myst".

Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Fireman Sam", "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air", "Beverly Hills, 90210", and "Barney & Friends". Children are playing with toys such as Sylvanian Families, Super Soaker (water gun), Littlest Pet Shop, and Jurassic Park: Young Tyrannosaurus Rex.
