Spooks in Georgetown
I took a guided walking "Spy Tour" of Georgetown today - visiting Alger Hiss' home, CIA director Colby's house, and cafe's where turncoat Americans were arrested while handing over secrets to foreign governments. The guide pointed out the homes of Martha Mitchell, Madeline Albright, John Kerry, JFK, etc etc. I've walked by these places before and had no idea of the history packed into these streets.
As I biked back across the Memorial Bridge between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington Cemetary today I again noticed the section of the bridge's stone railings that were replaced with perfect wooden copies. This is the spot where an Air Florida flight in 1982 crashed. I remember watching on TV at OSU.
