July 22, 2010 by Leave a comment

Pizza lover of Washington, D.C. Flippin’ Pizza just opened one of their cutest joint two blocks from my place north Dupont Circle right off Connecticut Avenue. I have eaten a lot of great pizza in Spain, NY, Iran, California, England, and Paris– so I’m pretty picky about my pies!  After trying Flippin Pizza near y my place,  it will indeed  be my go-to place – very cute and cozy.

Thin and crusty on the outer edges, but gooey in the middle. Can’t ever go wrong with pizza…

It is Washington, D.C. Day Today

On July 16th, 1790 Washington, D.C. was declared as The Nation’s Capital.

The location was a compromise; to place the capital in any state would seem to give that state importance over the others. So Washington D.C. was created, with a little land from Maryland, and a little land from Virginia, at the dividing point between the northern and southern states. It was a compromise in location, but it was also a severe compromise in comfort. In July of 1790, the land that would become Washington was a swampy no-man’s land, with swarms of mosquitos, muddy grounds, and unbearable humidity. Well, perhaps the last part hasn’t changed, but everything else about D.C. has grown up tremendously over the years. Read more of this post
