This is my 200th post. Boy, how time flies.

It just didn’t seem like Thanksgiving unless I watched the Macy’s Parade every year when I was growing up. Unfortunately, my wife doesn’t like to watch parades on TV, so I have to sneak it in if I can.

I decided to search YouTube for some parade clips from the 70′s and 80′s. I found some from the 80′s but none from the 70′s. I did find a cool clip from the 60′s though. I also threw in a few from the early 90′s. Enjoy.
