Long Island City

Playbill
Ticker Tape
Statue of Liberty

Playbill - As a symbol of the New York theatre - playwrights, actors, Tin Pan Alley composers, et al, and their importance to the creative life of the city.
Ticker Tape - Not only is it a symbol of the New York Stock Exchange, it also has been used by New Yorkers to commemorate the major (positive) historical events of the 20th century - ie Lindbergh's first Atlantic flight, the end of world wars, etc.
Lady Liberty - as the ultimate symbol of the importance of all immigrants to our city.
