Oct. 20, 1969: It was given almost as splashy a front-page treatment as the moon landing: The Mets won the 1969 World Series. “Led by Manager Gil Hodges, they rode in open cars through canyons that once echoed with cheers for Charles A. Lindbergh, John H. Glenn and Neil Armstrong,” reported The Times. “For eight years New York has loved this team,” announced Mayor Lindsay at City Hall, where the ticker-tape parade began. He continued: “Today they’re No. 1. The Cardinals know it, the Cubs know it, the Braves know it and the Orioles know it. Thank you for giving us a summer of joy.”

April 4, 1937: The congestion in Manhattan on this Sunday afternoon was not your typical mix of cars and trucks, but a parade of pachyderms, in town for the Ringling Brothers circus show. “The parade rumbled and clattered across the 125th Street Bridge, and from each corner children cried, ‘Hey, what’s in there?’ ” The Times reported from Uptown, where covered wagons containing the circus’s entertainments collected before the shows. “They pointed to canvas covered wagon No. 57, and it seemed a shame to yell back, ‘property,’ which would have been infinitely too prosaic, though true. So the answer was ‘lions,’ ‘tigers,’ ‘King Kong’ and ‘Mickey Mouse’ alternately, and in most cases the questioners were properly thrilled.”

Nov. 27, 1969: Youngsters found a good spot to view the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, from atop a telephone booth. “It was a day of abundance, not only of foods and goods, but of emotions also,” reported The Times. “Five raggedy children entered the Salvation Army cafeteria at 535 West 48th Street and, sitting among the weary old men and women who traditionally feast with the army on this holiday, received heaps of turkey and potatoes, peas and pumpkin pie.” Elsewhere, some G.I.s boycotted turkey dinner, to protest the American war in Vietnam, as did the Vegetarian Society of New York, to protest the exploitation of animals.

Dec. 8, 1929: A centipede-like creation comprising several balloons during the annual parade put on by “R.H. Macy & Co.” was set to fly into the sky at the parade’s conclusion. The balloon animal was designed by Tony Sarg, a puppeteer whose name was associated with the parade in the early days — “designed grotesque balloons in annual Macy parade,” his obituary read.
