Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Statue

love it – too bad ledge around statute isn’t bigger so i could perch my fat *ss on it because park is victim of own success and benches often filled…

One of my favorite resting places in the city. Right at the confluence of 18^th street and Connecticut, there you will find Longfellow, his back turned to the Daily Grill, with a look of consternation on his face. Wondering where we lost our way, no doubt.
There are a couple of benches to sit on, and a bit of greenery, and with traffic zooming by on both sides, it is a little like being on an island. Mostly, I just like the fact that we have a monument to a poet in the middle of the street. A DC treasure.
