Quotes

"The “Father of Our Country” George Washington’s example of character and leadership is timeless, and his estate reflects the personality and talents most consistently revered in American history. The large dining room, in need of major restoration, welcomes over one million annual visitors and is a shining example of historic preservation that can inspire history lovers of all ages. A $100,000 grant will paint, plaster and restore Washington’s Large Dining Room."
Tubby's Chili Parlor recently closed. Patch reviewer McFarland brought the closure to our attention, saying "It was rainy and cool last night (6 May 2013) and I wanted a chile mac. So I wandered over to Tubby's but it appears they are permanently closed. What happened?"
Come enjoy Vegas style gambling with Craps, Roulette, Black Jack, and Texas Hold "Em tables provided by Metro Casino Events."
Mount Vernon hopes the successful applicant will "be an established Ph D open to compelling new ways to impart the legacy of George Washington and its relevance to today.  We look forward to meeting candidates who are charismatic, creative, and entrepreneurial and who possess a dynamic leadership style."
