KEY WEST, FLORIDA
The so-called Conch Republic was established in response to the US Border Patrol setting up roadblocks that caused terrible traffic jams. Residents protested and the island’s “sovereign state of mind” became almost tangible. You’ll see the famous Conch Republic flag around the island, marked with a large conch. The motto? “We Seceded Where Others Failed.”

NAPA, CALIFORNIA
The word "Napa" is of Native American derivation and has been variously translated as "grizzly bear", "motherland," or "fish". Of the many explanations of the name's origin, the most plausible seems to be that it is derived from the Patwin word napo, meaning "house.” Go figure.

Central Park Guide
By the 1840s, New York City was rapidly expanding, and its population was growing, leading to concerns about the lack of green space for recreation. Wealthy New Yorkers, inspired by parks like London’s Hyde Park and Paris’s Bois de Boulogne, began advocating for a large public park where residents could escape the city’s chaos.
In 1853, the New York State Legislature passed a law to set aside more than 750 acres of land in central Manhattan for the creation of a public park. The land chosen for the park, which would become Central Park, was largely undeveloped, consisting of rocky terrain, swamps, and shantytowns inhabited by immigrants and freed African Americans.
