Capitol pediment: The Progress of Civilization

I'm Rick Snider, longtime storyteller of Washington—as a journalist, local tour guide, and history buff. Rick Snider's Washington (MonumentalThoughts) is my corner for stories, anecdotes, photos, and memories as a native Washingtonian. Find me here and on YouTube.
