Beautiful building with a fantastic history. The architecture stunning. However it seems to have an infestation of rats and snakes being funded by foreign and special interest groups. These rats and snakes do not represent the people and only care about personal gain and power.

Washington, D.C. is a planned city. In 1791, President Washington commissioned Pierre (Peter) Charles L'Enfant, a French-born architect and city planner, to design the new capital. He enlisted Scottish surveyor Alexander Ralston to help lay out the city plan. The L'Enfant Plan featured broad streets and avenues radiating out from rectangles, providing room for open space and landscaping. He based his design on plans of cities such as Paris, Amsterdam, Karlsruhe, and Milan that Thomas Jefferson had sent to him. L'Enfant's design also envisioned a garden-lined "grand avenue" approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) in length and 400 feet (120 m) wide in the area that is now the National Mall. President Washington dismissed L'Enfant in March 1792 due to conflicts with the three commissioners appointed to supervise the capital's construction. Andrew Ellicott, who had worked with L'Enfant surveying the city, was then tasked with completing the design. Though Ellicott made revisions to the original plans—including changes to some street patterns—L'Enfant is still credited with the overall design of the city.

If you ever want to see where the press records there brodcasts from the capitol. This is the place to go, truly an underrated place to go to D.C if your into politics or journalism. The photo here was from a demonstration from July of 2019.

Crowded but worth it

Nice park but the benches have bird poop on them and the monument marble has ants. Saw some birds catch flies. Cops are swarming the place

Had the chance to video record a press conference here a few days ago. Despite the scorching sun, having the Capitol in the background looks amazing!
