This is one of the best souvenir shops I've been to. It is small but they have everything you could ever want to commemorate your visit to Chicago. I collect flags from every country I've been to and this has been the only store I've ever seen that has every flag and the exact size I collect.

This gilded bronze statue is exquisite! It actually looks like it has been dipped in pure gold. Dedicated to General William Tecumseh Sherman, it also is accompanied by a woman who is a symbolic figure of "Victory". Its location is at the southeast corner of Central Park in New York.

The mall of trees is a grand section in Central Park. It is a famous spot used in many movies. It is a great place to jog or take a leisure walk with or without your dog. We were there towards the end of September and you can see the leaves hadn't started turning to fall colors yet.

I loved the colorful city artwork which was a beautiful, striking contrast against the blue, gray, and silver skyscrapers.

This is an interesting, beautiful, and quite a small fountain park, commemorating Philadelphia firefighters fallen in the line of duty since 1736. The bust of Benjamin Franklin was created uniquely with keys and pennies, and also contains brass nameplates representing fallen firefighters and weighs 1 ton! The mural on the wall is very colorful.
