6 Days and a few more tidbits

Hello!
The deadline is coming! There are 6 more days left to send in your deposit for New York. We only have about 6 students that have their deposit in and I know there are lots of other students who are planning on going so make sure that you get everything turned in.

Now for some more NY tidbits:

Broadway:

  • There are 40 theaters that comprise "Broadway" 
  • Broadway is also called the Great White Way
  • Broadway theaters do not have a row I so as not to be confused with a 1. 
  • Phantom of the Opera is currently the longest running show on Broadway
Statue of Liberty: 
  • The statue of Liberty is 305ft 6 inches tall from base to torch
  • Her face is 8 feet tall
  • There are 154 steps from base to head in the Statue of Liberty
  • She was dedicated in 1886
  • She has 7 rays on her crown, one for each continent
  • The boat the Statue came over on almost sank in rough seas
  • Her official name is Liberty Enlightening the World
  • She is modeled after the artist's mother, Charlotte
