DC is a great city, not only for tourists but for living and enjoying life. Great live theatre venue (big, small, blackbox), fabulous restaurant town in every price range, museums (all the government ones are free to public), parks, bike trails, the National Zoo, the Cherry Blossom Festival as well as almost weekly festivals/events of every nature weekly.
Why I believe even your Grand Poop-Bah has invested mightily in downtown DC....and all reports indicate he is turning a terrific profit. But of course we can't be certain until he releases his income tax returns.
I've been wanting to go visit the Spy Museum and Lafayette Park myself.
I was stationed at Quantico which is just a short drive south of DC. Had a lot of good times way back in the 70s. Now, I have family living in DC and I visit at least a couple times each year. It's a great city with lots of attractions.
Somehow, DC will just have to muddle along without you.
As if I didn't have enough reasons to not go to DC, the possibility of you being there gives me another reason not to go, thanks...its a piece of crap city. I have worked for the last 15+ plus years overseas and every single foreigner I meet says something disparaging about DC (wink wink) and I always have to agree with them.
You can't instill pride with a parade -- asking the residents of North Korea, Russia, etc....and other brutal regimes.
That's the problem - the focus is on parades to instill pride.
Conducting business with integrity, discipline, would be a start.
Tell that to the LGBT community. We have freak show parades in many cities in this country, every single year.
Just once it would have been nice to have one honoring America's heroes instead.
