at Bloomingdale's. How do they decide which flags to fly? Here's an explanation from 1995.

Flags of the world
February 3rd, 2015
I'm walking every street in New York City.
This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US. Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled more than 8,000 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!

Your donations allow me to keep walking full-time. If you think what I'm doing is valuable and you'd like to offer some support, I would be very grateful. On the other hand, if you think I'm a worthless bum, feel free to email me and tell me to get a job, bozo. Both are excellent options!
Interesting. This reminds me of the flags at The Plaza Hotel. For years I attended an annual meeting there, always in the same meeting room on the second floor. The men’s restroom was right across the hall. One day, a small door in the restroom was open … in it were cubbyholes with dozens (perhaps hundreds) of flags. I poked my head in the opening and could see there was a passageway that lead out to another door where one could see daylight. One entrance (on the side I think) of The Plaza is always adorned with flags. I guessed this was the day to change them. I think about that every time a tv show or movie shows an outside shot of The Plaza because it is always that flagged entrance.
