On the trip from North Carolina to Nevada, I drove through XX states. On the interstate, the welcome signs for each state often include a tagline. Here is what I saw:
Virginia: "Open for Business"
West Virginia: "Wild and Wonderful"
Kentucky: "Unbridled Spirit" and also "Birthplace of Abraham Lincoln"
Indiana: "Crossroads of America" and also "Lincoln's Boyhood Home"
Illinois: "Land of Lincoln"
Missouri: none on their sign, but according to Wikipedia is "The Show-Me State"
Iowa: "Fields of Opportunity"
Nebraska: "Nebraska . . . the Good Life"
Wyoming: "Forever West"
Utah: "Life Elevated"
Nevada: we missed this one because we crossed over at an exit, but it's probably "The Silver State"
Notice the Lincoln theme. Reminds me of the North Carolina : First in Flight :: Ohio : Birthplace of Aviation
That's on both their licence plates and state quarters.
