Entry: An Alternate Washington D.C.
Guys? I'm doing something! Give me a minute
Travel blurb: An Alternate Washington D.C. (The Fallen Republic-Universe)
White House
See the reconstruction of the White House, where the U.S. President used to live. Reconstruction efforts had largely been praised by historians for accuracy. You can go see what the daily life of the U.S. Presidents was like in the dim past! See what conferences and discussions may have occurred in the previous era. Revisit the working places of legendary figures such as Lyndon B. Johnson and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. And you're done, you can explore the Rose Garden for a look at America's most famous flora. The U.S. Capitol building is still in the process of reconstruction and will not be open to the public for a few years.
Kennedy Theater: Go see the Kennedy Theater, which currently has several movies playing. One of them is "Decline and Fall of the Old Republic", where you can go see why the old constitutional republic did not survive today. Relive the blunder parade of administrations like a sports blooper reel. You can go mourn or laugh at the soap opera that was mid-21st century U.S. politics. See the elephant and the donkey battle in their last election cycles. Other blockbusters can also be found here. Classic movies throughout American history can often be found here--each showing a different era.
Smithsonian Museum of American History: Now you can go and see the entirety of American history, from the Colonial era to the birth of the Republic in 1776, to its crucible in the American Civil War, the World Wars, to its zenith, the decline and fall, and everything else in between. You can see how typical American families lived in many of the "Daily Life" exhibits. See the "Ruined Bus" that was destroyed by racists during the Freedom Rides in the "Civil Rights Era" exhibit. Pieces of the Statue of Liberty can be seen in the "Late 1800s" exhibit--painstakingly recovered from the sea floor. And you can go buy some classic American items in the gift store and purchase classic American literature there when you're done. The history is endless.
The American Military Museum: Military enthusiasts can rejoice as many important pieces of hardware can be found (although for safety reasons all are nonfunctional)--in an artificial lake you can find several vessels from American history: reconstructions of an old sailing ship, steamship, ironclad, patrol boat, and a modern hunter-killer submarine. On an airfield see a reconstruction of the first airplane ever, the "Wright Brothers Flyer", a "The Spirit of St. Louis" (Lindbergh's plane used to fly across the Atlantic), a famous P-51 Mustang, a Bell V-1 (1st supersonic), an early Boeing airliner, a Huey helicopter, and an F-15 Eagle (all replicas or reconstructions). Over in the army deposit find the great weapons of the past, including Revolution-era long rifles and a cannon, American Civil War equipment, World Wars equipment, Vietnam equipment, Middle East equipment, and Fall-era equipment--you can see how the American soldier changed throughout history. Here we go.
Classic Americana Restaurant: Now you can eat classic foods from various points in American history. A massive list of entrees and other foods as you can taste your way through American history. The evolution of American cuisine, now on your plate. Dishes from all throughout time can be sampled here.
