On the west side of the square in downtown Sonoma there is a wonderful kitchen supply shop named The Sign of the Bear. I'm not sure how many visitors understand the origin of the name but it is appropriate for Sonoma.

I think the Colorado flag looks cool! The design of the New Mexico flag really brings out the southwestern culture of the state.

Harrier likes the fact that the flag makes clear that we are a republic, not a democracy.

We have 2 state fish? I never knew till I looked at your link. Although the Geribaldi is the official Marine Fish of the state.
