INDUSTRY! Seriously. The beehive is the state motto, because bees are (you guessed it) industrious! Utah lives up to its motto by destroying the beauty of the state in the name of everything Industry! (stepping from my soup box). Yeah, don't get me started. Anyway, your downtown area looks interesting and the people you've met are courteous. I'll be interested to see/hear more about Elkton! margenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203284423648703855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-73595851344691782152018-08-03T12:46:40.030-04:002018-08-03T12:46:40.030-04:00welcome to your second home where you will have so...welcome to your second home where you will have some fun memories.

I think I would have to check out that castle from the inside. I bet it's interesting. TN's motto is "Agriculture and Commerce". Yawn.

Wish it had a castle - though there is an old VFW building turned into the city hall and then . . . unsure. <br />TN motto is “agriculture&commerce” though all I see in these rural areas is corn and soybeans. And hay fields. And more hay fields with occasional cattle roaming all over and escaping to our field. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-65908803785702262732018-08-02T11:23:55.696-04:002018-08-02T11:23:55.696-04:00Like I told Vicki, I like Wisconsin's motto; i...Like I told Vicki, I like Wisconsin's motto; it's plain, simple, and forthright.

You got me curious about the state motto of Massachusetts so I looked it up: "Ense petit placidam sub libertate quietem", Latin translation; "By the sword we seek peace, but peace only under liberty".Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09438414339444169303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-78657216423002477112018-08-02T08:31:14.354-04:002018-08-02T08:31:14.354-04:00Well, this is fascinating!

I've driven thru Elkton a number of times on my way to Chesapeake City to visit a friend, but have only been on the "main drag" and have not seen any of those things. Very cool. Glad you seem to be settling in and getting used to living in two States!

In that work, Plato analyzed four cardinal “virtues” associated with government: wisdom, courage, moderation, and justice."

I love your state motto research. Oregon's "alis volat propriis" is my favorite -- in fact, I have a bracelet with those words inscribed.
