I had a meeting in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania - the state capital - actually in the state capitol (see photo). It's both another city and another capital I'd never visited, although that list continues to shrink. Pennsylvania is a commonwealth, as opposed to a state.When I was in the rotunda, under the capitol dome, I noticed these neat stone mosaics of different aspects of PA history, including mining, steel, Amish, etc. they were fragments of red, brown and other natural colored stones assembled in a way to both acknowledge the commonwealth's history and tell a story. There were no words and they needed none. It was all nicely woven together.
FYI - when reading the local paper, I was baffled by an abbreviation used extensively in the paper, "Twp., " which, as I learned means township. Who knew?
