1907 The first taxicab took to the streets of New York City. Motorised taxicabs had actually begun appearing on the streets of Europe in the late 1890s. The taxi is named after the taximeter, a device that automatically records the distance travelled or time consumed and is used to calculate the fare. The term cab originated from the cabriolet, a one-horse carriage let out for hire

I love word origins.

1942 Walt Disney's animated feature, Bambi, premiered at Radio City Music Hall in New York

Bambi is such a beautiful movie. I'll bet the theatre was full of people crying buckets when Bambi's mother was shot. I took my girls to see it when it was rereleased. We saw it at a drive-in.
