Capital Commentary: November 2008
http://elenaseesdc.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 30, 2008. Read All About It. The Newseum, like its name suggests, is a museum dedicated entirely to telling the history of the news and the media. Located at the intersection of Pennsylvania Avenue (there is a beautiful view of the historic street from the top floor of the building) and Sixth Street, the Newseum is by far my favorite museum in Washington, D.C. Kennedy's notes from the first televised presidential debate. A 4D theater with moving chairs and squirting water. The movie ...

Capital Commentary: August 2008
http://elenaseesdc.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 29, 2008. Next, a group of us walked to the Lincoln Memorial and later tried to familiarize ourselves with the metro system. Already, I realize how much I enjoy living in a big city. I love having breweries, pizzerias, clothes stores, and pharmacies right at my doorstep. I love people watching and reading the newspaper on long metro trips. I love the sound of cars and sirens outside my window at night. 4 Everyone dresses up. I have never seen so many people in business suits in my life.

http://elenaseesdc.blogspot.com/2008/11/nightmare-on-m-street.html
Sunday, November 2, 2008. Nightmare on M Street. For Halloween, Washington, D.C. donned a mask and transformed itself from professional capital to party city. The metro, usually full of government workers in business attire, was overrun by men in foam beer suits and women in corsets. Witches, devils, penguins, and grim reapers replaced lawyers and politicians. Newspapers, the choice reading material d. A Few Costume Trends:. Hey, I have one of you in my pocket! A man shouting from his car. President....

Capital Commentary: October 2008

Sunday, October 26, 2008. Alexandria: Torpedos, Cloggers, and Ghosts. After a short trolley ride down King Street, my friends and I arrived in Old Town Alexandria. Situated along the Potomac riverfront, this colonial town still retains its 18th century charm. I half-expected to see George Washington and Robert E. Lee, two famous Americans to call Alexandria home, chatting in one of the town's taverns or perusing through one of the many antique shops that line the quaint brick streets. Our first stop in.

Sunday, November 9, 2008. George Washington: Man and Mansion. Alongside the Potomac River, George and Martha Washington lived happily from their marriage in 1759 until Washington's death in 1799. I had no idea that men did the decorating in Washington's time. I wonder when that went out of style. November 13, 2008 at 9:39 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I like Boston Legal and business suits. How could law not be a good career fit? View my complete profile. Read All About It. Nightmare on M Street.
