    I haven't been to DC in 3 plus decades so haven't seen MLK, WWII, Korea or FDR. Still think it's Lincoln and not even close. And that's all I have to say about that.

    Shouldn't we wait until we see which monuments ANTIFA doesn't destroy?

    Except an obelisk is smooth with no fireman hat.

    I thought WE? were WASHINGTON DAMMIT


    Be born 8 blocks away from the National Mall and drive by it every Sunday on the way to church then pop off.

    (I remember my being forced to go to church due to being a child phase)

    Washington does it for me. Rowing on the Potomac at daybreak, seeing the Washington Monument and Capitol on the horizon, is awesome.

    Such Prep School, rowing fag snob, @whlinder
    Makes me sick!

    I’ve been there once when my kids were 2 & 6. It was cold and late so we only had time for the Wall and Abe.

    Never been, but my favorite monument at the Alderwood Mall is the food court map.

    This is my wheelhouse. Lived in DC for 14 years now. Still go down and walk around the monuments during off-peak/season tourist hours.

    Lincoln and Washington are biggest and most iconic, but my favorite is FDR because it’s off the beaten path and tranquil. Never a million tourists there like the others. You can walk through it without fighting throngs of jackasses posing for stupid pictures. You can see the progression of the United States in murals from the Depression through WW2.

    I also like Vietnam even though it gets crowded, it never seems touristy. It’s a somber place and you can feel the nation’s heartache.

    WW2 is cool, but doesn’t have the same power and feeling as Vietnam. It’s also not as powerful as Lincoln.

    Korean, like the war itself, is kind of forgotten among the other monuments. Not worth the time.

    Is there a room in the FDR memorial dedicated to throwing Americans isn’t prison camps? That would be pretty tranquil.
