🦃 Happy Thanksgiving! Here's a look at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade through the decades.⬇️
The Macy’s Thanksgiving parade originated in 1924, then called the Macy’s Christmas Parade. Santa made his first appearance that year, and he has appeared at the conclusion of the parade ever since.
For decades, the route of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade went down Broadway, the spine of Manhattan, starting at 9 a.m. In 2009, the route was moved to Seventh Avenue because of new pedestrian plazas along Broadway. It was moved to Sixth Avenue in 2011.

“‘What, you still have a car in the city?’ The well-meaning friend who had driven in from the suburbs for dinner with us let her fork slip into the fondue. ‘When are you going to get rid of it?’”
Keeping a car in New York City comes with all sorts of its own hassles, @nytimes reported in 1970: the nightly pre-martini search for a parking spot for the next day (post-martini is too late — by then the spots are all gone). And of course: the costs. nyti.ms/3iLEuyN
Today, many of those hassles and costs still exist. For many taxi-taking, Citi Biking New Yorkers who swore off private transport long ago, owning a car seemed at best unnecessary; at worst, a cumbersome time suck, @weareyourfek wrote in August 2020. nyti.ms/3sguvVd

July 17, 1902: It was another scorcher in New York City. The week before, seven deaths tied to the heat had been reported. Willis Haviland Carrier, an engineer trying to combat humidity at a printing plant in Brooklyn, invented air-conditioning. nyti.ms/2VViCbx Image
Air conditioning changed the United States. It allowed for sweeping development of the South with the innovation of central air. nyti.ms/2VViCbx Image
New York City was transformed as window-mounted air-conditioners lined the side of buildings and dripped on people on the sidewalk below. nyti.ms/2VViCbx Image
