That said, the Lincoln Memorial is under construction right now. It has a leaky roof that is being repaired, exterior cleaning and weathersealing, and the interior is going to be completely renovated after the exterior work is done. There’s even foundation work underway, the Memorial sits on pilings driven down to bedrock through silt dredged from the Potomac and has an extensive basement. It’s unclear whether *anybody* is going to get permits to stand on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial for the next few years, the work started in April of this year and is projected to be finished in 2020.

Time-Life media was easy to start, but a damn PITA to get it to stop.
]]>Though, some of the Time-Life books series had some value. Mom got me the Photography series (12 volumes from memory) when I took an interest in photography as a teen. I saved for almost 2 years to buy a 2nd hand 35mm camera with extras (lenses, filters, tripod). 🙂 Good memories! 😀
Also, some of their music recordings were quite good (vinyl sets & then CD’s).
But the magazine itself… garbage.
