LOL! I can't play. I just set up a "myway" personal page, and it includes "what happened on this day in history" |

I think it's too early for the statue of liberty to have been erected. That was in the 1800's, IIRC.
Ummm, the first ticker-tape parade was held on Wall Street?

Ooops. Lynn included the year. I don't think any of our members are quite that old. |

NY became a state. Well, at least we did in 1788, not sure about the July 26 part. LOL

I have a book called On This Date. I now disqualify myself from commenting on what happened July 26, 1788.
