Previous Answer:
The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is an annual parade presented by the U.S.-based department store chain Macy's. In 1927, Felix the Cat became the first giant balloon to ever take part in the Macy's Day Parade. Without a plan to deflate this massive balloon, NYC parade organizers simply let Felix fly off into the sky. Unfortunately, the Felix The Cat balloon got caught in some telephone wires and caught fire. The first Mickey Mouse balloon entered the parade in 1934.

Yesterday's Bonus Answer:

📲 The Mayflower departed Plymouth, England on September 6, 1620, with 102 passengers (three of which were pregnant women),and about 30 crew members aboard the small 100-foot ship. During the first month of the voyage, the seas were not severe, but by the second month the ship was being hit by strong North Atlantic winter gales, causing the ship to be badly shaken, with water leaking from structural damage. There were two deaths, but this was just a precursor of what happened after their arrival in Cape Cod, when almost half the company would die in the first winter.

TODAYS QUESTION:

🌀 In what city did the term "Black Friday" originate?

Philadelphia

Chicago

Portland

Atlanta


🍂🍁🍂

[JoGee]

Previous Answer:
💳 The name "Black Friday" originated in Philadelphia, where it originally was used by The Philadelphia Police Department to describe the heavy and disruptive pedestrian and vehicle traffic which would occur on the day after Thanksgiving. The earliest documented reference to this was in January 1966, written by Bonnie Taylor-Black of the American Dialect Society: "Black Friday" is the name which the Philadelphia police department has given to the Friday after Thanksgiving day. It is not a term of endearment to them. "Black Friday" officially opens the Christmas shopping season in center city, and it usually brings massive traffic jams and over-crowded sidewalks as the downtown stores are mobbed from opening until closing." Contemporary use of the term now refers to it as the point at which retailers begin to turn a profit, or are "in the black".

Previous Answer:

🎤 Motown is an American record company. It was founded by Berry Gordy, Jr. (Happy Birthday!) as Tamla Records on January 12, 1959, and incorporated as Motown Record Corporation on April 14, 1960, in Detroit, Michigan. The name, a portmanteau of motor and town, has also become a nickname for Detroit. Motown played an important role in the racial integration of popular music as an African American-owned record label which achieved significant crossover success. Gordy purchased a white frame house at 2648 West Grand Boulevard, where he boldly hung a sign “Hitsville USA” over the front door. Motown would be headquartered there for the next decade, absorbing adjoining buildings on both sides of the street.
