[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those big buildings you see lining Pennsylvania Ave are attributable to Marion Barry. In many ways, there could not have been an Anthony Williams had there not first been a Marion Barry. It has always been sad to me that the second half of his life will overshadow the first. A cautionary tale about the dangers of believing your own press and surrounding yourself with yes men.[/quote]Well said, pp. Regardless of my feelings about his behavior in recent years, it feels strange this morning to think of DC without Marion Barry. I'm much sadder than I expected to be. While it's more of a symbolic loss at this point, it's a loss nevertheless and a big one. [/quote] I know, it felt sad and odd to hear about his passing. Growing up in DC, I never had a positive view of him, and yet I feel his death as a loss. RIP Marion Barry.[/quote]
