Finally, some progress on the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture. A location has been chosen, and I don’t think there could have been any better choice than right there under the Washington Monument, next to the National Museum of American History and virtually across the street from the president’s pad.
Looks like the National Mall can expect another museum, this one in the shadows of the Washington Monument.
When I was attending Ponderosa Elementary School in Fayetteville, North Carolina, one of the highlights of the week was going to the library. We only had a few hours, but to scour the bookshelves for a good book was like being on a scavenger hunt. I found myself always gravitating towards the Hardy Boys and Encyclopedia Brown books. Now that I’m an adult, going to the library just isn’t the same. It’s a mystery to me how a city led by intellectuals can have such a decaying library system.
One of the things I love most about Washington, DC, is the fact that it’s becoming more and more of a wireless city. When I first got my laptop, I was amazed at the fact that I could sit outside of the Supreme Court and get the Internet. Of course, sitting outside the Supreme Court on a laptop every time I want to check my email isn’t the brightest idea. But sure enough, DC is becoming more and more wireless everyday.
