I see why you were depressed. That is a strange website.

I don't remember so much

I don't remember so much about 1978. I remember 1977. They painted the fire hydrants red white and blue for the bicentennial.

Oh and

1978 was one of the most amazing years of my life. But I don't think most of those details made it into Wikipedia.

Although:

and

but unfortunately:
