Flag Day is already a well-known and beloved competition among students from five high schools in Bucharest, organized by the Public Diplomacy Section. Participating for the first time, this year’s high schools (Mihai Eminescu, Nicolae Iorga, C.A. Rosetti, Mihail Sadoveanu and Dimitrie Paciurea) developed depictions of all 50 U.S. States and the District of Columbia.
Held in the Embassy’s courtyard for the first time, the 150 students exhibited the displays they created to illustrate representative elements for each of the states, all related to the history, culture and language of the Native Americans. The winners received American books and stationary and had a fun pizza picnic on the lawn.

Flag Alley is the short path that links Gainsborough's Market place with Lord Street. It runs alongside the Town Hall, and has not really changed that much down the years, beyond the Town Hall being redeveloped with the loss of the stinking toilets that used to be down here. Compare with this early 1970s view, and this one from the 1960s.

This was taken in August last year, but I came across it tonight looking at old photos. Seemed a perfect way to "end" my posting for the night.
Happy and safe 4th of July to everyone.

To celebrate Flag Day on June 13, for the 8th straight year the U.S. Embassy's Public Diplomacy Section organized a competition with high school students to develop depictions of all 50 U.S. States and the District of Columbia. Nearly 300 enthusiastic high school students took part in the competition which took place at the Ambassador’s residence where they exhibited the displays they created to illustrate various representative elements of each of the states, in order to convey the message for this year’s theme: “America’s Strength: The Diversity of Its People”. First time participating, this year's high schools were: Gheorghe Lazar (Bucharest), Mihai Viteazul (Bucharest), Nicolae Balcescu (Oltenita), Decebal (Bucharest) and Ion Neculce (Bucharest). The winners received American books, music and movies (Lucian Crusoveanu / Public Diplomacy Office)

Four Republic of Ireland tricolours can be seen flying in this frame; overall we counted more than a dozen in view of the wall. While Derry is part of the UK, we saw no Union Jacks on this side of the Foyle. On the other side, the "Waterside" district, a loyalist district, we saw Union Jacks in abundance.
The divide remains, and clearly so in its symbols.
