Day 114

Shaw (November 19, 2020) Walking again through the Shaw neighborhood, we were struck at the variety of row houses that we passed. We’re starting to see Autumn decorations. Inevitably they must include a pumpkin or two. There also some surviving halloween decorations. This was one of the more bizarre that we have come across. We …

Shaw / Penn Quarter (November 16, 2020) On a crisp Autumn day we walked back and forth between the Shaw and the Penn Quarter neighborhoods. We walked by the National Museum of Women in the Arts, advertised to be the only major museum in the world solely dedicated to celebrating women’s achievements in the visual, …

Day 112

Downtown / Federal Triangle / National Mall (November 13, 2020) After two days of heavy rain, the skies finally cleared and we headed downtown on a gorgeous Autumn day. This weekend, there is a Trump rally here in the District. In this predominantly Democrat town it was strange to see people wandering around wearing Trump …

Day 111

Day 110

Howard University / Le Droit Park (November 6, 2020) Today we walked through the campus of Howard University and neighboring LeDroit Park.

Day 109

The National Mall (November 3, 2020) It being election day here in the States, we decided it would be appropriate to walk along Constitution and Independence Avenues that border the National Mall. The Mall is not a shopping mall. Rather, it is a large landscaped park that is also home to a number of the …

Day 108

Dupont Circle / Logan Circle / Shaw (October 27, 2020) During our walk today we noticed that many of the row houses had pleasant front gardens. These gardens have become more used during these Covid times. People want to get out of their houses where they have been confined for months and also meet with …

Day 107

Shaw / Chinatown / Penn Quarter (October 21, 2020) Today we mainly walked along 7th and 9th streets running through Shaw, Chinatown and the Penn Quarter. Recently, we discussed Banneker High School when we were walking through Columbia Heights. What we didn’t mention is that Banneker is scheduled to move to a new location in …

Day 106

Downtown (October 19, 2020) We were downtown again today and were struck by how empty it is. We passed by many closed restaurants that would normally be bustling. Even those that had terraces open for business were empty. We have to assume that the big old hotels like the St. Regis and the Hamilton are …

Day 105

Columbia Heights (October 17, 2020) Our good friend Nick joined us on today’s walk as we continued making our way through Columbia Heights. We passed by two schools with impressive front entrances, Banneker and Cardozo High Schools. We have spoken about Cardozo in a previous blog entry but were surprised to find another public high …
