Common sense isn't.
Although the site is usually closed to the public, there is a public open house on the first Saturday in April and October, in most years. A variety of displays, souvenir vendors, and food booths were near the parking area. Speeches were given at the monument at ground zero. Old photos were displayed along the fence around the site. People wandered around looking, photographing, measuring radiation, talking and thinking.
Buses are provided for rides to the McDonald Ranch House, about 2 miles away.
| Quote of the moment |
| On the Wedding Veil: As for her veil in its combination of lace or tulle and orange blossoms, perhaps it is copied from a head-dress of Egypt or China, or from the severe drapery of Rebecca herself, or proclaim the knowing touch of the Rue de la Paix. It may have a cap, like that of a lady in a French print, or fall in clouds of tulle from under a little wreath, such as might be worn by a child Queen of the May. |
