The Decay of Our National Mall

[jojopuppyfish]

This video is from 3 years ago. I have seen the Jefferson memorial shored up (A wall has been built so that it wont sink) and the reflecting pool is being repaired.) So that trust foundation looks like a success so far.

@jojopuppyfish Thank you for that information.

@BenjaminsVideos I live about 15 minutes away and bicycle there almost twice a week.  I working on a documentary about the mall and any help you might have would greatly be appreciated.

If the government 'hasn't got the money and you yourself are a believer in monumental care, where do you turn to?? A couple of rich bitches, who couldn't care less where their money is going as long as they get to show their latest designer outfit and fill the air with kisses. What a great world we live in! Oh and by the way...Apple pie isn't American...It's Dutch!

@SEECH7 Thank you for your correction. I used the word ghetto incorrectly. I have changed the title.

I was there two years ago and was shocked by what I saw. I expected fantastic green grass, instead I saw brown, dusty, dirt. it was awful.

lol..this dude is so embarassed...it's his job to make sure nothing like this happens

A shame.

We are too busy funding the rebuilding of what we've destroyed over-sea's, while our own infrastructure crumbles.

Time to get our priorities straight.

Home first!!

What a disgrace that they've let it get so bad.

Thanks for posting this video. There is VERY little information out there about the decline of the mall. I saw this last Sunday and told people about it and couldn't even find this on the CBS News website.
