As I left the apt this morning at 7, with the cool air hitting my face, I couldn't help but miss the Mall.
I spent a lot of my evenings in DC walking the mall, especially when I was trying to make the decision to stay in the District or leave for ROA. On good nights, as the sun would set, I would do two "laps" or a little under 4 miles.
I missed the distinctive "crunch crunch" of the Mall.
