If you fill in both sides of the reflection pond, its supposedly 200,000.

If the open area on the left is filled it brings it up to 350,000.

That's what I seem to recall.

Remember after the Presidential inauguration?

Quote:
The National Park Service with the cooperation of the Presidential Inaugural Committee and volunteers cleared the National Mall of 95 to 100 tons of debris starting at 8 p.m. the night of the 20th, leaving the Mall clean by morning. Blankets, sleeping bags, folding lawn chairs and coolers had been left on the National Mall.

I just love how people are wrapped up in headcounts and litter. Anything for a win...but sad that it even comes to this.

It's not a win - it's simply the truth.

What is? I still don't know (or care) how many people were there. A LOT. That's enough. Yet we get page after page after page as if it makes a difference. I guess everyone is bored tonight. I know I am

It was a Revival, absent the large tent, along with a smattering of disingenuous respect for MLK. It will provide a lot of rhetoric for his media circus and hence, the real objective, a lot of orders for his books and sponsored products

Thats funny, maybe its to avoid the bad areas which happen to be black, what a coincidence. Too much of a chance of getting mugged or shot.
