Welcome to New York

THE BIG APPLE




By Reagan Kallina
Statue of Liberty

 Statue of Liberty officially celebrated her 125th birthday on October
  28, 2011.
 People of France gave the Statue to the US over 100 yrs ago in
  recognition of the friendship established during the American
  Revolution
 The Statue was a joint effort between America and France and it was
  agreed upon that the American people were to build the
  pedestal, and the French people were responsible for the Statue and
  its assembly here in the US
 Lack of funds was a problem on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. In
  France, public fees, various forms of entertainment, and a lottery
  were among the methods used to raise funds. In the US, benefit
  theatrical events, art exhibitions, auctions and prize fights assisted in
  providing needed funds
How did Times Square get its name?




Times Square used to
 be the home of the
Headquarters of "The
  New York Times"
     newspaper
NY & American Revolution

  The British viewed New York City and the Hudson
   River Valley as key strategic locations.
  After evacuating the patriot stronghold of Boston
   in March of 1776, the British concentrated on New
   York as a base of operations.
  In July of 1776, shortly after the signing of Thomas
   Jefferson's Declaration of Independence, a huge
   British fleet of nearly 500 ships and 35,000 men--
   the largest single armed force in America until the
   Civil War--appeared off New York.
911
   On September 11, 2001, 19 militants associated with
   the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda hijacked four
 airliners and carried out suicide attacks against targets
 in the United States. Two of the planes were flown into
the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a
  third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington,
       D.C., and the fourth plane crashed in a field in
   Pennsylvania. Often referred to as 9/11, the attacks
 resulted in extensive death and destruction, triggering
 major U.S. initiatives to combat terrorism and defining
  the presidency of George W. Bush. Over 3,000 people
    were killed during the attacks in New York City and
    Washington, D.C., including more than 400 police
                  officers and firefighters.
Niagara Falls
 The Niagara Falls, located on the Niagara River draining
  Lake Erie into Lake Ontario, is the collective name for the
  Horseshoe Falls and the adjacent American Falls along with
  the comparatively small Bridal Veil Falls, which combined
  form the highest flow rate of any waterfall in the world and
  has a vertical drop of more than 165 feet (50 m). Horseshoe
  Falls is the most powerful waterfall (vertical height along
  with flow rate) in North America.[1] Niagara Falls forms the
  international border between the Canadian province of
  Ontario and the U.S. state of New York, also forming the
  southern end of the Niagara Gorge. The falls are located 17
  miles (27 km) north-northwest of Buffalo, New York and 75
  miles (121 km) south-southeast of Toronto, between the
  twin cities of Niagara Falls, Ontario, and Niagara Falls, New
  York.

 of routes or 656
 miles of track, and
 a total of 842 miles
 including non-
 revenue trackage
Empire State Building
 The Empire State Building became the
  world’s tallest skyscraper in 1931. At 102
  stories and 1,454 feet tall, it bested the
  Chrysler Building by only four hundred
  feet. As of 2005, the Empire State
  Building is the 9th tallest building in the
  world. Number one is Taipei’s Taipei 101
  at over 1,600 feet. On July 28, 1945, the
  Empire State Building was the site of a
  tragedy when a small plane crashed into
  the 79th floor on the 34th St. side of the
  building. The pilot of the plane, his two
  passengers, and eleven people inside the
  building were killed.
Chinatown

  landmarks important to
  the history of New York
  and to Chinatown
  specifically. Head to
  Chatham Square, where
  you can view the statue
  of Lin Ze Xu and the
  monument to
  monument to Chinese
  soldiers who died in
  World War II soldiers
  fighting for the U.S.
