A Walking Tour of Washington, DC – The National Mall

There is no better way to see America than on foot. And there is no better way to appreciate what you are looking at than with a walking tour. Whether you are preparing for a road trip or just out to look at your own town in a new way, a downloadable walking tour from walkthetown.com is ready to explore when you are.

Each walking tour describes historical and architectural landmarks and provides pictures to help out when those pesky street addresses are missing. Every tour also includes a quick primer on identifying architectural styles seen on American streets.

Pierre Charles L’Enfant, who laid out the street plan for the District of Columbia, Had a grand vision for the National Mall. In his view the Mall was to be the foremost avenue of the city, the so-called “Grand Avenue.” It was to run west from the Capitol to a point directly south of the President’s House where its terminus would be crowned by an equestrian statue of George Washington. According to L’Enfant’s plan, the Mall was to be “four hundred feet in breadth, and about a mile in length, bordered by gardens, ending in a slope from the houses on each side.”

To realize L’Enfant’s dream things started slowly and then petered out completely. Then the Civil War came and the Mall grounds were used for military purposes, such as bivouacking and parading troops, slaughtering cattle and producing arms. In 1872, at 6th and B Streets, a 14 acre tract was given to the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad for the construction of a depot. The railroad was also granted permission to lay tracks north to south across part of the Mall.

The National Mall was on the verge of disappearing altogether when, in 1902, Senator James McMillan of Michigan headed a commission to transform the country’s primary city park. The hundred years of unenacted grounds plans dating back to L’Enfant’s original ideas were examined. The McMillan Commission submitted their report to Congress. Their plan called for the restoration, development, and supplementation of the “Grand Avenue” ideal proposed by L’Enfant. The core of the Mall was to be a broad grass carpet, typical of those in Europe, 300 feet in breath and running the entire length of the Mall grounds, bordered on each side by four rows of American elm trees. Public buildings were to border the whole, separated from the elms by narrow roadways. The railroad station was removed from the area in 1909. Swamps would be drained; canals filled. All buildings would conform to a Neo-classical design standard calling to mind the tneets of ancient Rome and Athens.

There are nine museums on the Mall, two entrances for underground museums, and the Department of Agriculture. This walking tour begins at the east end of the mall, following along the southern edge and returning along the northern side…

What music would be good for 4-5year old kids to listen to while they are skating?

May 17th, 2010

I have been asked to make a CD for a skating party and I need good upbeat music that 4-5 year old kids could/will listen too. There are 3 boys and only 1 girls that are coming so the music has to be general, nothing too girl like, nothing to boy like.
Any suggestions? They have to be able to “dance” to the music and enjoy what they are listening too. I need about 4 songs more.

Washington Kids Tea Party

March 11th, 2010

Make some empty spaces in your living room to get together for tea party with your buddies. A youngsters especially young girl loves this party. This article will guide you on how to arrange such gathering.

Last February Helen wanted to entertain her crowd. After considerable thought she decided on a Washington tea party. That type of party offered many and varied ideas for decorating and entertainment. Then too her school had a holiday on the 22nd of February which made it a perfect day for a party. She printed her invitation on small cardboard hatchets which she cut from heavy construction paper.

They read: Come over on Thursday At three P.M. to help Cut down the Cherry tree. Helen. Naturally her guests were much intrigued. They speculated as to whether or not they were supposed to really cut down a cherry tree. However, when the guests arrived they learned that this was an entirely different cherry tree from the one George Washington had chopped down.

The cherry tree turned out to be a good-sized branch of barberry which of course at this time of year was bare. A flower holder in the bottom of an old-fashioned jardiniere held it upright. To keep it from tipping sidewise the jardiniere was filled with clean white sand.
The leaves and cherries on this tree were cut from construction paper and fastened to the tree by placing them on the tiny barberry thorns. The tree was very attractive and held a prominent place in the center of the living room.

But this tree was more than decoration it started off the fun. Each girl was directed to take her turn in choosing a leaf from the tree. When the first girl had made her choice she discovered written on the back of her leaf an easy historical question such as “Name two famous men who had birthdays in February.” If she could answer the question correctly she had a second choice. If she preferred to choose a cherry she could do so. But here was the joker. Some of the cherries were blank on the back, others bore this sentence, “I did it with my little hatchet.” If her cherry was a blank she could then draw another leaf. But if her cherry had a sentence on the back she was required to do a stunt for the crowd sing a song, turn a handspring, tell a story, or what have you. She could make her own choice.’

In this game the winner was the gal who had answered correctly the greatest number of historical questions. It was her privilege to impose forfeits in the way of stunts on the rest of the girls.
