I took a lunchtime walk down Fayetteville Street to see how ol’ F-street is shaping up. At the south end (the plaza end), workers have removed the 7-foot fencing that blocked the view of Memorial Hall while work on the Marriott was being completed.
I stood there marveling at the view. For the first time ever, I could stand right in the middle of Fayetteville Street and enjoy views of both Memorial Auditorium and the State Capitol.
What a great idea it was to rip out that dilapidated, view-blocking cement monster of a civic center!
