@mattblaze@federate.social My aunt, who is no longer with us, was a volunteer based in that building, patiently answering tourists’ questions and advising people where to go and what to see at the Smithsonian. I grew up in the DC area but have been in California for more than 40 years. I feel I have to get back there and see all the museums before JD Vance destroys them.
