State Files - humor, page toppers and page ideas for specific states

PLEASE READ this note before going to a state file for the first time.
I found a lot of discrepancy in available info. For example, there are various numbers given for the sizes of the states. This may be due to rounding or whether lakes and streams were included. I used the numbers from the Bureau of the Census that includes inland waterways.
The coastline/shoreline information islands, sounds, bays, tidewater, narrows, etc.
In some cases no one knows the origin of the state name. Obviously states were named by men, because women would have put the explanation in a scrapbook!.
In some things, like temperatures, I used whatever source seemed most reliable.
The "notable natives" were the most confusing. If someone is famous, every state wants to claim them so you will find the same people listed in the state where they were born, went to school, lived some of their adult life, died or was buried--and in some cases probably where they just drove through once on vacation!.
If you have additions and corrections for your state please let me know.

Miscellaneous Page Toppers

• All roads lead to (Rome)
• (Austin) City Limits
• (Georgia) on my mind
• The Hotel (New Hampshire)
• If It's Tuesday, This Must Be (Belgium)
• In Old (Chicago)
• Merrie Old England
• Moon Over (Miami)
• (Philadelphia) Story
• (Rhode Island), It's For Me
• There's a Little Girl in (Hartford) Who Saved Her Heart for Me

Note: Most of the above titles can be used for other locations. For example: All roads lead to Ireland; Denver city limits, etc. Some sound better if you use things that start with the same letter. "Midnight in Manhattan" and "Moon Over Montana" sound okay but "Midnight in Topeka" and "Moon Over Wichita" don't have much of a ring to them.

State Page Idea

Kansas Grown - You could substitute any state. If your state had a shape that wouldn't work for cutting a photo you could use the shape for journaling or in place of the sunflower stickers.

No Place Like Home

(Henry Van Dyke)

Oh, London is a man's town, there's power in the air;
And Paris is a woman's town, with flowers in her hair;
And it's sweet to dream in Venice, and it's great to study Rome;
But when it comes to living, there is no place like home.

Patriotic Travel Idea

Travel to cities and counties with patriotic names. Take photos of the 'welcome to' signs on the city or county limits and put them in a scrapbook. Also note whether those places appear to have more flags, signs, or other evidence of patriotism than cities with other types of names. Below is a list of places to get you started. I compiled this list using nona.net city search.

Germany

I use the portrait sleeves a lot for travel pages; there is so much memorabilia gathered during vacation. I interspersed Germany pages recently with portrait sleeves.
All those colorful brochures from Neuschwanstein and the Alps and railway tickets and a deutschmark or two.
I remove the white middle page so that the sleeve is clear, and use a little photo tape to secure the small stuff (tickets, etc.) where I want it inside the sleeve, then let the brochures and guidebooks just fall to the bottom inside.

Italy

Quotes About Italy

• All roads lead to Rome.
• It is the city of mirrors, the city of mirages, at once solid and liquid, at once air and stone. (Erica Jong speaking of Venice)
• Italian building inspectors in Pisa are very leanient.
• Rome was a poem pressed into service as a city. (Anatole Broyard)
• Venice is like eating an entire box of chocolate liqueurs in one go. (Truman Capote)
• This is the fairest picture on our planet, the most enchanting to look upon, the most satisfying to the eye and spirit. To see the sun sink down, drowned in his pink and purple and golden floods, and overwhelm Florence with tides of color that make all the sharp lines dim and faint and turn the solid city to a city of dreams, is a sight to stir the coldest nature, and make a sympathetic one drunk with ecstasy. (Mark Twain)
• When in Rome do as the Romans do.

Album Idea

One customer used a Red Reflections album for a vacation to Italy. She also used Design Line Christmas stickers (not the holly or candy canes) just the red and green things for Italy. She also used the Christmas Cherubs (ones with a blue drape) which looked rather Baroque and fit in with some of her photos. (Gayle H.)
