Four hundred nearby homes were evacuated on Saturday with residents told they could be out of their homes for five days.

My first visit to London was flying in on a prop plane, low and slow. On the outskirts of the city were an impressive number of bomb craters left from WWII. It made me realize how much stress and anxiety the folks that lived there endured. The Luftwaffe was relentless, overwhelming Brit defenses.

These weren't simply military targets being hit. The German leadership wanted the Brits to lose hope and experience loss. It was meant to break them. Fortunately, the opposite happened. Brits came together and persevered at a level not always seen during conflict.

In the Northwest quadrant of DC.. the western side of Northwest is home to some of the most expensive urban real estate in the country.. way up on Massachusetts Avenue, above the embassies and Naval Observatory.. around American University are the most beautiful and expensive homes.. this area was also an ordinance testing range for the Army during WWI.. about twenty years ago this bit of trivia was discovered, by accident.. took years to “clean up”.. anyway, they said it was cleaned up…
