    This is the neighborhood surrounding American University...mostly upscale residential. Not great food options, though.

    It is also bunkerlike ---an underground place for the Capitol people to flee when the building is evacuated as has happened from time to time.

  • Hillwood Museum & Gardens, jg (guest) wrote 15 years ago:
    Originally known as Abremont, Hillwood was purchased by Marjorie Merriweather Post after her divorce from third husband, Joseph Davies. Davies was the Ambassador to Russia in the 1930s, and while there, Post and Davies purchased many Russian art pieces, including icons, china, glass, jewels, and objets d'art. Post purchased the house and did a 2-year remodel, adding many display areas for her Russian collection. Hillwood houses the largest collection of Russian art pieces outside of Russia itself. Post used the house and famous gardens as her Washington base and hosted many important guests. She was known as one of the most famous and gracious hostesses of the 20th century.

    Last year when I was in 8th grade coming here was the most amazing school trip ever. We saw the White house, capitol, Washingotn Monument, war memorials, Lincoln and Jefferson memorials,and many more things. We went to Arlington Cemetary to see Kennedy's grave and also saw the Pentagon. Best school trip ever.
  • Sculpture: Di Suvero's Are Years What? (for Marianne Moore), cramyourspam wrote 15 years ago:
    The original article seems to have been vandalized with "This pile of scrap metal resembles many similar piles in cities throughout the United States. The style is often called "McArt" and is most commonly the result of excess tax dollars." Then the article was protected to prevent vandalism, but the vandalism remained in place ---and harder to clean. :(

  • DC "Pentagram", Jame357 wrote 15 years ago:
    Wikipedia Washington DC pentagram post: It should certainly be observed that the mathematical [and divine] perfection associated with an actual pentagram, with the proper angles, PERFECT symmetry - and therefore a connection to the divine number, phi, 1.618... - more probably reflects the real, ancient and original meaning of this symbol and of its embodiment of things divine. If Masonic Founding Fathers or others had indeed intended to represent such a symbol in the street patterns of this great and new city of the new world, they surely would have constructed it precisely. This is NOT a pentagram, complete or not. The ancient pentagram was and IS a representation of a magnificent benevolence of such quality and perfection as may only be found in that unknowable, omnipresent and omniscient creator of the Universe and author of all life. Let's not be misled by 19th and 20th century revisionist's imaginations. “What we think, is not confirmed, and what we think not, God contrives.” James M
