If I can add my two cents worth, my friends from Ireland said DC was beautiful and for the most park clean. I was proud!

(only read if you have time for a "funny") That's a shame what you've written, but I hate to tell you it's happened all over the country. All our beautiful countryside is beening eaten up by developers. I went to DC as a child to visit after President Kennedy was killed. My mother wanted to see his grave. It's all different now, I believe they've even moved his grave from the orignial site if I'm not mistaken. But the few trips I've made with my family in the pass couple of years we just loved DC. Much Much nicer than New York City. for the most part I felt safe there not like NYC or even Boston.

I lived in DC for forty years and was driven out by the high cost of living there and the low salaries. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, July 01, 2005 3:55 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WashingtonDC'' ] Fw: D.C. (only read if you have time for a "funny") Hi all - This is the best and most truthfull piece that I've read in a long time. I was born and raised in the DC, Maryland area. Andrew field was - then - all farm land. So many changes - when I go back to the DC area now, I only drive in broad daylight, with the car doors locked. Such a pity - the nation's capital - people come from all over the world to visit. And the people working there - from the clerks to the high and mighty politicians - all have this mentality - "it's not my job.!' and 'what's in it for me.?' It's a wonder that anything ever gets done. mro [email protected] ============================== Jumpstart your genealogy with OneWorldTree. Search not only for ancestors, but entire generations.
