reawakening
...had to visit the newly relocated "The Awakening" statue, at its new home on the Maryland side of the Potomac. Of course the thing was a temporary installation at Hains Point in DC's East Potomac Park, but those of us who grew up around here rather got used to the old man where he was. It was like a rite of passage; EVERY 11-year old boy had to go crawling around the dude's mouth & nose.
Therefore, the current location at the new "National Harbor" complex seems incurably wrong. Look at him. The dude is clearly unhappy about it, and just wants to get back to sleep.... 3july08.
