‘Statehood for DC’

Or using every possible part of a building for art.

The Douglass Commonwealth, named after Frederick Douglass, a 19th century social reformer, abolitionist, orator, writer and statesman, has been suggested as a name for the new state, if there ever is one.

Really wonder whether statehood for DC is ever gonna be in the cards. Pretty sure there will be a lot of objection from the Republicans because of the Democratic bent to the district.

The Rochester airport was renamed after him as he lived in Rochester. I hope DC and PR become states. I doubt it would be allowed to happen by a certain party. V

Such lovely murals, and those buildings are so tidy and attractive.

Statehood for DC would be a good, but it should have only one senator to prevent ties in the senate.

I guess it's like the Italian politics, you get two Italians together and you get three opinions!

That is a really cool looking group of buildings, let alone the colorful mural!
