Still More Christmas Tree Traipsing

A new stop on the annual Holiday Lights tour is the Christmas tree at the Trump International Hotel, the made-over Postal Pavilion.  I preferred its old iteration, as I preferred the company of normal citizens to plutocrats.

The public can still go up into the tower at the building, though.  The NPS runs it during business hours, it's free and the view from there is unparalleled.

There is a nice tree outside the Willard Hotel.  Across the street from there is Pershing Park, where you can see a statue of Black Jack Pershing, who directed his men, according to the president's telling of a phony legend, to smear their bullets with pork fat and thereby quelled a muslim separatist and nationalist movement in the Philippines when it was a colony of ours and he commanded our troops there.

Memory Lane contains Christmas trees too, such as this one at the Occupy Camp on Freedom Plaza.  This photo of that tree is from 2011.
