Here's a fun look back at some of the old New York Tribune cover stories (you can view them all at the Library of Congress). Like that time New Yorkers became obsessed with ballooning, or when we were convinced we'd all be living in aerial houseboats by now, and who can forget that time the editor was like, "what if giant creatures were coming through our streets and eating us?" Nothing like a little hypothetical scaremongering on a slow news day!
