NYC subway and bus fare was $1.00 Big headline news in summer of 1987. Iran-Contra Scandal. Maragret Thacther elected for 3rd term as UK Prime Minster. Earthquakes near LA killing 6 and leaving at least 100 people injuried. TV teleministers scandal headlined by Jim Baker mess. Jury Selection begins in infamous Howard Beach racial murder the previous December in 1986. Sports Mets finish disappointing 2nd place in NL East (no wild card then)after winning 1986 world series. Yanks finish 4rd in AL East. Lakers win 1987 NBA Finals. Oilers win 1987 NHL Stanley Cup Hit songs of summer of 1987 "I think we alone now" Tiffany "Head to Toe" Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam "Only in My Dreams" Debbie Gibson "I Need Love" LL Cool J "Nothing will stop us now" Starship "Shakedown" (theme from Beverly Hills Cop 2) Bob Sager "With or Without you" U2 "Wanted dead or alive" Bon Jovi "Always" Atlantic Starr "I Heard a Rumor" Bananarama "La Bamba" Los Lobos Summer of '87 Hit Movies Beverly Hills Cop 2 Robocop Untouchables La Bama Predator Hit TV shows Cosby A Different World Growing Pains Cheers Family Ties 60 Minutes Moonlighting LA Law Hope guys you now know an idea of life in NYC and America 25 years ago in 1987 even if you were not yet born.
