Jackie and JFK ride through a mid-October blizzard of ticker tape in Manhattan's famed "Canyon of Heroes," three weeks before election day, 1960. Kennedy won New York with 53 percent of the vote to Nixon's 47; the margin of victory in many, many states across the country, however, was far smaller than that.

What a great shot! Nothing like a parade of ticker tape in Manhattan and in those days it was really ticker tape.
they would never allow people to come that close anymore.
An amazing picture and a real step back in time...
Nice blast from the past. It sure is a whole different world now
what a great memory to find & share! Don't you ever wonder how much it costs the tax payers to clean up after one of these parades? Not that I would want to spoil the fun ;o) Happy Wednesday Sandee!
Great photo.
