I think more people would have given a shit about the 250th celebration if there were an easier word for it than "semiquincentennial." That's bad branding. Nobody calls it that. "Bicentennial" was classic, "tricentennial" will be classic, but there's no good word for 250. "Quartermillennial," maybe? I guess that would be "demisemimillennial." I don't know, I don't speak Latin. America 250 sounds more like a Republican campaign rally than a bipartisan celebration (that is by design, of course).

November 19, 1926: A parade through Times Square celebrating the 300th anniversary of Broadway. The route was south from 72nd St. to 38th St.—just a fraction of the avenue's length.

The Times noted, "The parade was to bring back to the famous street the days of long ago, and the barouches, victorias, and other carriages of other days looked sufficiently incongruous as they passed through the Great White Way behind automobiles. But most of it was devoted to modern advertisements of light, heat, and power, orange juice, and the moving pictures that are now current. … When an elephant tried to pull the spare tire from a New York Times automobile and wrapped its nose about a dog along side of it during the wait the crowd roared its appreciation of elephantine humor."

Happy Birthday New Orleans! This day (no one really knows, but May 7th was chosen) is exactly 300 years since New Orleans was founded.
