Who's on first?

OK, I know baseball can be a slow game.  But the one going on here behind the Federal Reserve Bank must be the slowest.

 

Who’s on first?  I don’t know.  But there is a pitcher, batter, and catcher.  And an umpire, who’s definitely blind.

 

The best part about this game is there’s never been rain delay.

 

The sculptor John Dreyfuss made these in 1988 and he put these bronze pieces in game-correct positions. 

 

You can watch the game anytime.  It’s in Edward Kelly Park in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood at 21st Street and Virginia Avenue NW.

Above It All - Washington National Cathedral

Washington National Cathedral is a Gothic masterpiece. Perched on a hill overlooking the city it is the second largest cathedral in the country and the 6th largest in the world. It is a living work of art filled with stained-glass, hand-carved wood, and wrought iron. While a modern structure (finished in 1990) it is constructed in the old-world way and has no structural steel.

Embassy Row: Divinity & Diplomats

Most Embassy Row tours don’t venture far beyond Dupont Circle. But ours does. We see it all from top to bottom. This stretch of Massachusetts Avenue used to be called Millionaires Row where Gilded Age robber-barons built grand mansions. Today those mansions house most of Washington’s embassies, along with private clubs and statues of world heroes such as Mandela, Gandhi, and Churchill – and we will be right in the heart of it.
