I know what you mean .


ive never been to Gettysburg, and i was too young when i visited the Statue of Liberty to remember it.. but in DC, i felt that weight in almost every building, and every landmark I visited.. all the Smithsonians, the Vietnam Wall, heck even the FBI building .. maybe that’s why i like DC so much.. well, that and everything’s free .


The one place i did NOT feel the weight of history was the damn Liberty Bell in Philadelphia .. such a letdown.. i felt more history on the Rocky steps than i felt staring at the crack in that bell .

If you want to feel weight, go to the Holocaust Museum in DC.

And, yeah, it's there in Gettysburg too, but different.

I've never been to Philly, but I agree about DC and almost added that to my list, but there are too many places there to name. However, we did get a White House tour when we were there and that more than qualifies and I should have mentioned it.

I've been to a lot of places around the US and DC had by far the best food (besides for Louisiana). Better than New York and certainly better than Chicago. They only other place that I really really enjoyed all the food we had was San Diego.

Philly is interesting.

It's a bit like New Orleans in that it's a blue collar town. I think the native Philadelphians are similar to New Orleanians, except that those Philly folks have the yankee attitude. They're good people. They wear their emotions on their sleeve. It's an older town. They love their own and are skeptical of outsiders. They're the first to welcome those that accept them. Sound familiar?

They throw batteries at Santa.

It's how they work and they're cool with it. They really don't care what any of us think, and if I'm honest, that's pretty cool.

I personally think it's great that they throw batteries at Santa, it's so ludicrous that I love it.

More craziness
======================================================

A worker at a McDonald’s was shot and critically wounded in a reported fight with customers over cold French fries.

The employee, Matthew Webb, 23, was confronted by a 40-year-old female customer at the fast food restaurant on Fulton Street in Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood around 7pm on Monday, police sources told the New York Daily News.

In the midst of the dispute, the woman was speaking with her 20-year-old son, Michael Morgan.

‘The mom complained that her fries were cold,’ a source told the New York Post. ‘The mom was on FaceTime with her son, and he heard the dispute between her and the clerk. The son and the clerk got into a dispute inside, and it went outside.’

Police said the son then shot the worker in his neck. The employee was transported to Brookdale Hospital and was in critical condition on Tuesday, the source said..........

Oh sheet, we went to Gettysburg last year and had a really great meal at this little tavern. They had their street flea market going on at the time and my visiting fam loved it.

It's like 40 miles from my house. I should go more often.

It's a super cool place [Gettysburg], and yet, spooky.

I think this is where we ate:

Pretty much a straight shot South of Gettysburg.

I accidentally drove probably halfway there one time. Apparently I was driving south when I should have been driving north. Who knew?

Not the same night but I also mistakenly ended up at Aberdeen Proving Grounds the same way.

If you made it far enough south from PA into MD to get to a decently-sized town that's big enough to have big box stores and restaurants, that's near where that vet clinic you posted the other day is.

Yeah, they're not real big on visitors there. :hihi:
