The Kennedy Center will probably partially reopen, and have some much-needed repairs concurrently.

What's changed is that we can all patronize it again! Woohoo!

What are those? It had a pretty extensive renovation in the not too distant past.

Apparently the issues are all consequences of past water infiltration. I don't know how much was addressed by the prior reno, and how much remains to be done. But I've heard there's still significant steel corrosion, concrete deterioration (especially in the parking garage) and all electric systems need to be safeguarded (especially in the service tunnels). The design of the roof has been a perennial problem causing drainage issues on the marble beneath, but I don't know what can be done about that.

This is why I think we can keep the Center open and making money, while closing off whatever needs to repaid, sequentially. Parking has always been a shitshow anyway.

When I parked there a few years ago the garage seemed brand new and we zipped in and out with no issues at all.

So after more than a year of boycotting the Kennedy Center, now I guess I'm supposed to help it recover. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad the orange circus is leaving the building...but the whiplash is real.

If there are shows you want to see, but I don't see the current leadership making that happen.

I’m not going back until Trump is gone. I refuse to support something where Trump completely controls who is performing. The very fact that he tried to put his name on a memorial for someone else and then throws a tantrum when he doesn’t get his way is reason enough to stay away until Trump is gone.

+1 He is still on the board, including those people he appointed.

Someone should livestream as a fundraiser for GOTV efforts

Such a big stupid waste of money, like SO many other stupid things the administration has and is doing. Dems should be constantly and continually hammering this administration on their huge and wasteful spending- from the ‘small’, this renaming and also the Department of defense & Gulf of Mexico bullshit, which just seems silly but costs significantly with all new signs, letterhead, web redesign etc etc, the stupid overpaid and inappropriate reflecting pool work and the cage fight disgusting display and on and on to the huge $$$ waste re the stupid Iran attack etc. It’s just never ending wasteful spending, while regular americans can barely keep their heads above water. That message of HUGE wasteful spending isn’t being hammered hard enough!

Someone at the Bulwark said they should have a fundraiser for the Kennedy Center to watch the denaming in person.

That kind of rage could pop a vein in the brain or dislodge a big chunk of plaque.
