June 11. Dancing up Broadway

After checking out the Wall Street Charging Bull, we walked up Broadway.

Hello? Cunard Line?

Pretty impressive brass doors, eh?

Looking up Broadway

One final look back at the charging bull.

While walking down the pavement, I noticed these strips on the ground. These had names on them, along with a date and a brief description of their action.

Researching this, looks like these are names of people who were honoured for their actions by giving them a ticker tape parade. Here’s the list.

Petain? Why was he given a parade? Interestingly enough, this name is missing on the wiki list. I am not surprised, the man was a traitor!.

Amelia Earhart. Gosh, famous lady.

Photobucket

And somebody called as Balbo Smile

Photobucket

Howard Hughes.

Photobucket

Now that makes sense, to celebrate Charles de Gaulle.

Photobucket

And Nimitz, my hero!

Photobucket

And Halsey! another great admiral

Photobucket

Erm, i got distracted.

Photobucket

The road leads down to office suites.

Photobucket

Getting into the car.

Photobucket

Lovely buildings, I just love this place.

International Hair? As opposed to Domestic Hair?
