"Bank of America (abbreviated as BofA) is an American multinational banking
and financial services corporation headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The history of Bank of America dates back to October 17, 1904, when Amadeo
Giannini founded the Bank of Italy in San Francisco. The Bank of Italy served
the needs of many immigrants settling in the United States at that time, a
service denied to them by the existing American banks who were typically
discriminatory and often denied service to all but the wealthiest. On September
14, 2008, Bank of America announced its intention to purchase Merrill Lynch &
Co., Inc. in an all-stock deal worth approximately $50 billion. Merrill Lynch
was at the time within days of collapse, and the acquisition effectively saved
Merrill from bankruptcy. Around the same time Bank of America was reportedly
also in talks to purchase Lehman Brothers, however a lack of government
guarantees caused the bank to abandon talks with Lehman. Lehman Brothers filed
for bankruptcy the same day Bank of America announced its plans to acquire
Merrill Lynch. This acquisition made Bank of America the largest financial
services company in the world".

The Kings Dominion 40th Anniversary flag features the celebratory park logo
centered on a white field. The celebratory logo is rather complicated. It
includes the original park logo from 1975, with the stylized name of the park
showing a crown in place of the dot of the lowercase "i" in "Kings." Behind the
1975 logo toward the fly is a pale blue outline of the Eiffel Tower. One of the
park's primary attractions since opening in 1975 is a one-third scale replica of
the real Eiffel Tower in Paris. Toward the hoist and behind the 1975 logo is the
number "40" in gold numerals, with the word "CELEBRATION" in gold letters
beneath the 1975 logo. Gold stars and sparkles form an aura around the
celebratory logo, which is outlined in pale blue. I said it was complicated.
