It helped growing up in New York and watching virtually all of the parades from 1947 until 1963. Also, my father telling me about the original route on Broadway. Sue H 3 years ago 9/10. I never heard the term “bones”…I figured they were anchors! Melinda 3 years ago 6/10. All were guesses, so lucky I got this many. I’m not a fan of parades in general, they don’t seem to serve a purpose except spending a lot of money for pure entertainment (which they’re not). They were okay in small towns where volunteers planned them for love of community. Now they are a commercial enterprise. J. Farley 3 years ago Is that True that no one proofread Ture!
