Years back, children were invited to board a mock-up of a pirate ship and left with a black eye patch and a three-corner hat with the infamous skull and crossed bones.<\/p>\n<p>But Macy\u2019s has not only been innovative with its interior exhibits, it has for generations sponsored the annual Macy&#8217;s Thanksgiving Day Parade watched by millions in person and on television.<\/p>\n<p>The night before the parade, thousands come to the south end of the Museum of Natural History for what has come to be known as \u201cInflation Day.&#8221; That has nothing to do with the state of the economy, but rather is the time and place when the giant balloons that have come to signify the parade are inflated.<\/p>\n<p>For more years than most people care to remember, the retail giant has sponsored weekly fireworks. At one time they were set off in the Atlantic Ocean, visible from Brooklyn and the Rockaway Peninsula. In recent years, they were ignited from the Hudson River and visible to New York and New Jersey. Bowing to some pressure from New Yorkers, they moved the fireworks barge to the East River and now can only be seen in New York\u2026 too bad, folks in New Jersey \u2013 you don\u2019t count.<\/p>\n<p>Macy\u2019s was founded in 1858 by Rowland Hussey Macy, who was only 36 at the time. Today, it&#8217;s the fourth oldest department store in the United States, older even than the fast fading Sears. Macy\u2019s immediately recognizable \u201cRed Star\u201d emblem was chosen by Macy to honor his service in the Navy.<\/p>\n<p>Continuing its effort to bring a fun experience to all visitors, Macy\u2019s will premier its 44<sup>th<\/sup> Annual Flower show on March 25.<\/p>\n<p>Enter a world of magic, imagination, and wonder as the Macy\u2019s Flower Show\u00a0opens the first chapter of spring with\u00a0<i>Once Upon a Springtime<\/i>.
