God Bless America! Land That I Love!

Look at this gorgeous piece of concept art for Liberty Square's unique Concord Bridge. Disneyland has New Orleans Square, perhaps the best of all castle park lands, but I am almost equally impressed by Magic Kingdom's Liberty Square. Its holds the Haunted Mansion and the Hall of Presidents. Imagineering has often done its best work in patriotic themed attractions, respecting our vibrant and varied- but not perfect- history and culture. That said, after traveling to the ends of the earth and its nations almost 25 times, there's no country on the planet as free and as grounded as the US of A. So, God Bless America and shed your grace on thee. We certainly need a refocus!
