Tourism and Washington, DC

I am an inveterate reader of the newspaper comics and I enjoy it when various artists cover the issues I work on including tourism, history, travel, retail sales, and development.

The Luann comic strip by Greg Evans is not carried by the Washington Post, although it runs in the Baltimore Sun, and is available online via the Seattle Times.

The current story line is that Luann and her friends, high schoolers all, are visiting Washington, DC on a school trip. This is the strip from February 12th. And it helps put into perspective the words and associations that we have and how they differ. (I once had a similar telephone conversation with my brother. I said I was going to the mall--he lives in Florida--and he cracked about shopping.)
