A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held to celebrate the reopening, after a major renovation of the building. Attendees arriving by car are being asked to park at County Public Parking Garage 49 at 7601 Woodmont Avenue, and take a shuttle bus to the library (9:30 AM to noon). Parking spaces at the library will only be available for those who have ADA license plates or hang tags.

ReplyDeleteAn excellent choice for the library! As an English professor at MC, she quoted Shakespeare at the drop of a hat. An amazing woman, she managed to be a liberal Republican in the House until she was redistricted, then was appointed to the OECD as ambassador.

William Shakespeare
I don't see why this should be a surprise. She was well-liked, popular, respected, and served the District well. Unfortunately, she would have no place in the current Republican Party.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I'd like to see the Donald Trump Memorial Sewage Treatment Plant!
ReplyDeleteGreat Congress woman, she was more concerned about her constituents than promoting herself or her party.
