A modern colonial structure with a Cupola Tower, dormer windows, and storm shutters might work in this city. A porch overlooking the skyline with rocking chairs, reminiscent of the magnificent view of the Potomac at Washington's estate. When will we get a break from the Pearl, the Core, Elan at Memorial Park, etc. - the glitz and glamour is fine and good for now, but what about some history. Who is bold enough to do this today?
