When I was in my college class somebody held up a picture of the Empire State Building. I was so shocked! "Who moved the Statue of Liberty?" I asked. Nobody knew what I was talking about. "Who moved it off of the top of the building?" Of course everyone laughed their heads off. I visited the Empire State Building when I was little and when we were going to the top my Dad said we had to hurry so we could see the Statue of Liberty. I somehow inferred that we were hurrying up there to see the Statue of Liberty up there. I believed my whole life that Lady Liberty was atop the Empire State Building.
