the white house is a nice backdrop for a photograph




the several blocks past Treasury, then the White House, and then the Old Executive Office Building or maybe they call it the Eisenhower Building now... back to the point... these blocks are car free
which is nice for the bike

I remember when this stretch of road allowed cars
them dam cars stopping to snap a quick Polaroid could be annoying to the person trying to hang in the right lane on the bike 

I also remember that when they closed this area to traffic that pick up roller hockey moved it
too bad the hockey players lost their court
