The newly renovated Ford's Theatre has reopened in honor of Lincoln's 200th birthday. Last night the Obamas and other dignitaries were there. In a few weeks, the Shields' will be there to see a play. Supposedly Al Roker is doing a Today Show spot from there this morning. This is the crowd assembled. It wasn't too impressive yet, but a charter bus of enthusiastic high school students was unloading as I walked by. Ford's Theatre is one block from my office, so on nice weather days like today, I walk past it on my 4 block walk from the metro station. On bad weather days, I transfer to a train that dumps off immediately next to my building.
