I'm loving this thread. So much fun to see what they come up with. I'll be interested to see what they do for Portland in July when I see them.

Since we're the craft beer capital of the USA, I'll go out on a limb and predict it will have something to do with that.

 

 

 

What a fun thread this is!

I predict KC will go with the trend of baseball teams and will be something like "Go Royals Go!"

 

Or maybe it will be 'Excuse me Greensboro, but OUR BBQ is better!'.

The Toronto 6/19 symbol is a statue commemorating the War of 1812. Named "Monument to the War of 1812" by renowned Canadian author and artist Douglas Coupland, the statues were commissioned by condo developer Malibu Investments Inc. and approved by the City of Toronto. The four-metre-high sculpture is of two soldiers — one standing and one fallen.

The standing soldier is painted gold and depicts a member of the 1813 Royal Newfoundland Regiment. The other is painted silver and depicts an American soldier from the 16th U.S. Infantry Regiment. The monument is meant to be a scene from April 27, 1813, when U.S. troops overran Fort York, burned it and then left. (source: http://www.cbc.ca/news/arts/coupland-creates-statue-to-mark-war-of-1812-1.717530). The CN Tower is also featured in the symbol.

Update tiiiiiiime! :P

 

The huge Canadian goose statue is actually far from Toronto, in Wawa, ON, but there is a connection so I listed it. Didn't find Boston or Philly yet so if anyone is interested, have at it. Haven't seen a photo from the Newark intro video yet. :)

Thanks! ( I always forget there's no self serve gas in New Jersey!)

 

Learn something new every day. I didn't know that. :)

Yep, us Jerseyians have to rely on the guys at the gas station to pump our gas for us. ;)

 

Is it because they can charge more for it that way?

Ooh...I know these landmarks.

 

Boston is the Hood milk bottle. http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/9509

 

Philly is the coffee pot shaped building in Bedford, PA. http://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/6177

 

Newark is Lucy the Elephant. http://lucytheelephant.org/ My personal fav because it's a local landmark where I live. :)

 

Can't wait for NYC tomorrow night.

Would you trust Jerseyians with such amounts of flammables?
