Madame Tussauds & National Law Enforcement Officers Museum Info

Any word on the America’s Most Wanted Museum?
That would pretty much round it out

It’s all a bit much if you ask me. How about a grocery store or a nice convenience store or a cool funky clothing store?

You mean you want something for *residents*? That appears to be last on anyone’s list, for now.

Anybody here remember what happened with DC’s last wax museum? The one on 5th and K that nobody went to and got torn down? Didn’t think so. See, that’s what happens when you don’t bother learning the history of your new neighborhood. You’re doomed to repeat the same mistakes.

If I recall correctly the last wax museum was torn down to make way for a parking garage – it was at a time when automobiles were just becoming popular and there was no place for them to park. Rectalhorror, as self-professed local historian, does that sound right?

Questions about the law enforcement memorial:
* Is this the final design?
* Does it seem odd that neither these renderings nor the current memorial has any place for people to actually sit down outside? There are a couple of people sitting on small walls in the renderings, but there seems to be a fear of creating an outdoor space where real people might congregate. Presumably that’s because of the homeles, but there are ways to create dynamic outdoor areas without being overrun by homeless folks (Bryant Park, NYC)
