I just wish the sword was still there. Maybe a light sabre would work. =) Joan is my favorite in the park because it is at the highest point and it is over looking the main fountains and down the hill.

Therein lay his brilliance. Hamilton may have wanted "energy in the executive," but most Framers wanted Congress to be the pre-eminent branch, of course. So I give him credit there. He may not have done a whole lot to stave off civil war, but he ended up buying the North enough time to build up industry/arms. Truth in advertising, I'm a Dickinson alum as well.

It is fixing a lot of draining issues. I'm pretty excited about having it back. http://www.nps.gov/mehi/parknews/index.htm C: The construction is been ongoing for about a year and it will, I think, improve the park substantially.

But I've heard that there is nightime activity in the bushes and I don't mean by squirrels, etc. Of course parks are meant for daytime use.

It's been looking pretty bleak lately-- there's some kind of construction going on there and there's a lot of ugly equipment and debris (you can see some to the right of the JOA photo). Anyone know when they're cleaning that up? I just moved to an apartment near that park.

Luckily I was in the back of the building, so the weekly drum circle didn't bother me too much.

Oddly enough he was probably our most experience President.

We've had them walk right up and play fetch with ours. If you take dogs off leash behind the buchanan statue, the cops don’t ticket. We’ve had them walk right up and play fetch with ours.
