The Smart city-car brand will soon cease operations in the U.S. as its single model, the Fortwo, goes away after the 2019 model year.

Smart, which is owned by Daimler, had already stopped selling the gasoline-powered Fortwo in America, restricting the lineup to include only the electric model starting in 2017.

Times Square got its name when The New York Times moved its offices to the area in 1904. Even when they relocated in 1913, the name stuck.

This is the house, located in Bellevue, Washington, a suburb of Seattle that Jeff Bezos rented back in 1994. He started Amazon.com in the garage.

Delta Airlines started out in 1924 in Georgia as a crop-dusting operation using just one plane, which sprayed insecticide to combat a boll weevil infestation of cotton crops in the Deep South.
