I've been living in New York for a while now. Each night I've been here, without fail, save September 11, 2001 the Empire State Building is lit up proudly displaying various colors and providing an awe inspiring icon to locals and visitors alike. Since September 11 each night the top of this great building is awash with the colors of our country, red, white and blue. On special occassions, the colors change to represent holidays and cultures from around the world. It's always fun trying to figure out what the colors are and which holidays or special occassions are upon us. After doing a little research I was able to find this. A listing of each of the color combinations and what they stand for. Take some time and read through them. I'm sure that in some small way there is a color combination which represents everyone.
My favorite is the Red and White which represents Pulaski Day and the Red Cross.
