The States Of Modern: New York
I was born in New York. Tho my parents never lived there (they lived in Jersey) I can technically claim New York City as my hometown.
When I was finally able to properly visit, well after my 50th birthday, I truly felt a connection to the bustling city. I’m hoping soon to return and explore more of this fascinating state.
Our block is a loose interpretation of the New York skyline, in the modernist way!
The State Of Modern New York
New York State Facts:
Capital: Albany
Admission to statehood: July 26, 1788
State bird: Eastern bluebird
Flag: Emblazoned on a dark blue field is the state coat of arms. The goddess Liberty holds a pole with a Liberty Cap on top. Liberty stands for freedom. At her feet is a discarded crown, representing freedom from England at the end of the revolutionary war. On the right is the goddess, Justice. She wears a blindfold and carries the scales of justice. Meaning that everyone receives equal treatment under the law. The state motto “Excelsior” on a white ribbon expresses the idea of reaching upward to higher goals. On the shield a sun rises over the Hudson highlands and ships sail the Hudson river. Above the shield is an eagle resting on a globe representing the Western Hemisphere.
State flower: Rose
Three largest cities: New York City, Buffalo and Rochester
