This post was updated on Nov. 9 to include the 2016 general election front page: Trump Wins.

As Americans head to the polls to elect the nation’s 45th president, take a look back at how The Sun covered past presidential elections on the front page. We’ve searched the archives for the front pages following each presidential election dating back to 1900, and selected a few additional covers from elections that weren’t officially decided by the next day’s newspaper — including 2004 and, of course, 2000.

Now and then: Scenes from the unrest

Now and then: Scenes from the unrest

A year after Baltimore saw large-scale protests and a period of rioting, looting and arson following the death of Freddie Gray, there are signs the city has returned to normal. The CVS Pharmacy at the corner of North and Pennsylvania avenues, considered the epicenter of the violence last April 27, has been rebuilt and reopened. The Mary Harvin Senior Center, which was under construction and set ablaze that same night, also was rebuilt and recently celebrated its grand opening.

Crowds at Oriole Park at Camden Yards have returned to greet a new baseball season, though it will be hard to forget the day last year when the home team – due to security concerns the week of the riots – played a game with no fans in attendance.

Still, there are still visual reminders of the violent events of last year, when thousands protested Gray’s death from injuries sustained while in police custody. Some stores, including a DTLR clothing store on Pennsylvania Avenue, which was damaged during the riots, have not reopened. And barricades still remain at the ready in front of the Western District Police station, the district in which Gray was arrested and the area where many of the protests and marches took place.
