...have convened for a permanent caucus - Mormon, Universalist, Episcopal, Lutheran, Swedenborgian. There are many distinctive areas like this. Glen Echo is an amusement park that went out of business in 1968. Now arts groups meet there near abandoned carrousel horses and a cracked, empty pool. Downtown, the old Woodward & Lothrop department store looks as handsome as ever, with its polished wood everywhere. Streets are lined with wig emporiums and phrenologists. The National Portrait Gallery is located in the old U.S. Patent Office that doubled as a makeshift hospital during the Civil War. Walt Whitman wrote of soldiers dying there between...
