Today while on my jog a tourist held up his hand to me like a cop stopping traffic. Now, I run on the capitol mall so I accept and even welcome tourist questions. I like to test my new city knowledge. To boot, my running speed is such that it is like stopping traffic to slow me down!
The tourist asked, "Where is the White House."
I pointed to his left.
He asked, "What is that White House?," pointing to his right.
"The Jefferson Memorial" I replied.
2 points for the jogger, another happy tourist. YES!
There are two follow up comments to the free items mentioned in previous blogs.
1-Thank you to a reader for this article supporting dumpster diving worldwide.
2-When I ask questions at the farmer's market starting with, "In Wisconsin we.." the farmers respond well. Sunday I happily walked home with a large box of ripened tomatoes for cooking, free. Guess what I'm making tonight? Hungry? Come on over!

I heart John Vanderslice + Boston
Digital cameras are great. Here you see my Boston experience: The City, John Vanderslice, Harvard, and Tufts University.
Streets of Schuhington
Schuhington is nestled in cozy capitol hill. The Saturday farmer's market is famous for sale of fresh produce, lunches in the inside structure, and a large outdoor flea market. The breakfasts and lunches boast it's most famous crab cakes and blueberry buckwheat pancakes. Though the main structure of the market had a fire in the sprint, a temporary structure pictured here keeps the tradition alive while they re-build. The market is one of my favorite parts of the neighborhood because I can purchase local produce from farmers. Fun to taste the produce, talk to the farmers, and remember my roots. You can find me here every weekend at least once.
Here in Schuhington, you can find many treasures in the main residence. A gold and maroon motif include the pillow, sheets, curtain, and bed skirt. All very exciting purchases for a first time job holder. Also, enjoy the antique desk, my only furniture purchase over $15 to be found in Schuhington. This weekend I added to my dynasty with a free bedside table. My clock is no longer on the floor. Needless to say, I am crowing my self reigning dumpsterdiver/garage sale attendee in all of Schuhington. When are you visiting?
