As I said in yesterday's post, the Trump International Hotel is actively excluding the public this month from its lobby, even though it is a public space since the property, the Old Post Office Pavillon, belongs to the federal government and is leased to the failed businessman. Here is the Christmas Tree inside the space from 2019.
I was very disappointed that I couldn't get into the Library of Congress this year to see its tree, despite presenting myself for admittance on two different days. Once the library was closed to the public per its current posted hours (closed Monday and Tuesday) and the second time, a Wednesday, I was told that reservations were required on that day to be admitted, a dictate I was told, on the spot, that came down "that morning," particular to that day for undisclosed reasons. Here is the tree from 2019.
The Peace Officers Tree is a live tree outside the DC Courthouse that is short, a transplant of recent years, from around 2017 I believe, when the live tree formerly there was suddenly gone. Here is a picture of it from perhaps 2015 when it was tall and robust, before it vanished, to be resurrected later in the form of a newly planted tree.
The National Tree used to be a more spectacular display than its current version. Here is the tree from around 2012.
