New York City

Population of over 8,000,000 Location State of New York, USA Square Miles – 305 sq miles New York is the city that never sleeps!

I love New York! So many places to go to at all hours of the day. It has all of the major sport teams to follow (So the Knicks are bad, they still count!), Times Square, Broadway Plays, Central Park, all of the Museums and stores and restaurants. You can never run out of things to see and do while in New York! I would have to rate New York as my favorite city to visit. There’s nothing like “Times Square” on a warm Saturday night! Slide 2

Granite, Oregon

Population of over 24 Location State of Oregon, USA Square Miles – 0.4 sq mi Second smallest incorporated city in Oregon!

First established by miners after the discovery of gold July 4, 1862, the community was originally called Independence and was situated about a mile-and-half west-north-west of the present location. According to Oregon Geographic Names, the name Granite was chosen when its post office was established in 1878, the name "Independence" already being used in Polk County, Oregon. A. G. Tabor, who had staked the first mining claim on Granite Creek (the Independence) and was the only merchant in town at the time, served as the first postmaster. The city of Granite was incorporated in April 1900 with Grant Thornburg as mayor. The town used to have a giant Flea Market over Memorial and Labor Day Weekends that made the town grow to over 1000 people. Granite is a great place outdoor recreation and history or the gold rush era.
