After leaving the Eagle, caught the train home. Waiting for the Q, the R train pulling out of the station – managed to capture this. What I found –
“Find What You Love in New York State”
I Love NY campaign
Created by Milton Glaser in 1977, the purpose of the I LOVE NY mark was to promote tourism to New York State. The iconic mark represents the State’s 11 vacation regions, New Yorkers’ affinity for their home state, endless branding opportunities for merchandise and advertising campaigns, and is one of the most recognized logos of modern day.
The American Revolution and Watkins Glen State Park
The area around Seneca Lake included several Indigenous villages that were burned by the advancing American army during the brutal 1779 Sullivan-Clinton campaign. These areas included the lake’s inlet at Catherine Creek, Montour Falls, and what is known today as Watkins Glen. Both the falls and a nearby village were known as She-Qua-Ga, a variation of “roaring” or “tumbling water” in the Seneca language.
This State Park is part of thefingerlakes region of NYS.
For the Subway / Transit enthusiasts, an R train without the old deco-cars will still take a bit to get use to.
The “Reach New York: An Urban Musical Instrument” installation is still active and operating.
Created by artist Christopher Janney in 1995 the interactive sound sculpture continues to run 24/7 on both the uptown and downtown N/Q/R/W platforms.
