The desire to give the nation’s capital a fresh look for a big birthday is not unusual: When the United States celebrated its bicentennial, in 1976, the occasion became an accelerant for projects that reshaped the city. But in that case, it was the culmination of planning that had taken years. A reflecting pool in front of the U.S. Capitol building was completed in 1971, and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden was finished in 1974. The Washington Metro system opened its initial, 4.6-mile line on March 27, 1976. The Constitution Gardens, a 50-acre park along the Mall, was dedicated as a bicentennial tribute in May 1976. The National Air and Space Museum opened to the public that July.

Ran across this in a bound volume of articles at Washington University in St. Louis that I doubt anyone has looked at since, well, maybe 1955. #STL

I love this stamp.

Aerial photograph of suburban neighborhood. A maze of roads, sidewalks, and houses.

Suburban Omaha strip mall: Starbucks, vape shop, bar, and shoe store.

My new book, Canfield Drive, is available now. The book is the first comprehensive history of Black spaces in St. Louis and it reconstructs the urban context of the 2014 killing of Michael Brown and the #Ferguson Uprising. #STL upress.missouri.edu/978082622339... @umissouripress.bsky.social
