It’s GW’s Town, George Washington That Is

I spent the last holiday of summer in our nation’s capital, Washington DC. We only walked around one day. The town is historic to it’s bones and every circle leads to granite landmarks, but above it all and always in view is the Washington Monument. And I can’t help myself, I need to be the one millionth person to make this type of joke; I think George may be compensating for something.

DCers are so vexed by lack of federal representation that they have actually put it on their license plates. Not so welcoming for a tourist-based town. If the federal government wanted to build billions of dollars of tourist attractions in Altoona, they’d not only give up their congressman, they’d offer to boil him in sauerkraut.

No comment on all the pretty girls in the photos. That’s just how I roll. The last pic introduces this list of the ways DC is better than NYC:

  1. The movie theaters are not crowded.

Sites of the Day:
– Deadspin has a really good Steelers preview from Mondesi’s House.
– Bonus link: Annoying, yet engaging, another interweb meme lonelygirl15 and her story. I think it’s fake. But what the hell do I know? Maybe it’s a sign I’m getting old, but I really think kids were better off without the internet.
