Today in Chicago History: City celebrates first Earth Day with Civic Center rally
Here's a look back at what happened in the Chicago area on April 22, according to the Tribune's archives. Is an important event missing from this date? Email us. Weather records (from the National Weather Service, Chicago) High temperature: 91 degrees (1980) Low temperature: 24 degrees (1986) Precipitation: 1.55 inches (1981) Snowfall: 0.2 inches (1893) 1970: As the first Earth Day was observed in the United States, Illinois Attorney General William Scott told a rally at the Civic Center (now Daley) Plaza that he planned to sue the city of Milwaukee for polluting Lake Michigan. 1978: 'Joliet' Jake Blues (portrayed by John Belushi) and Elwood Blues (played by Dan Aykroyd) — the Blues Brothers — made their first appearance on 'Saturday Night Live.' Though Steve Martin was host, the musical act opened the show. The duo returned during the show's fourth season. Two years later, 'The Blues Brothers' film — which was largely filmed in Illinois — was released. 1980: Chicago Cubs shortstop Iván DeJesús hit for the cycle against the St. Louis Cardinals. DeJesús had no idea what he had just done until third-base coach Joey Amalfitano congratulated him. 'It's like pitching a no-hitter. It's something you've never done before. But if I go 5-for-6 in the game, and we lose, it's not the same,' DeJesús told reporters after the game. The Cubs beat the Cardinals 16-12 at Wrigley Field.
