Let's spread out the museums and monuments. There are some great places around the city. I couldn’t agree with Vik more. Let’s spread out the museums and monuments.

I like the open space and I don't want us bastardizing the museums where we have to have every group represented. And maybe in the future we build some museums in areas outside the mall to get more people exploring the other areas of the city. Not in the ghetto but perhaps in the areas that are on the cusp of development like NoMa and Nationals Park.
