So you are thinking they should move it?


I was actually thinking they should move/underground I-66 and or Rock Creek Parkway during the renovations.

That was my first thought when I heard the news about it shutting down.

When will the Vienna Philharmonic cancel? As of now, they are still coming in March. I can’t believe they want to be associated with this dumpster fire.


It’s just another temper tantrum because artists are quitting and playing Melania on loop there for the next three years isn’t going to make up for the revenue loss.


Yeah, another rough weekend for our child “president.” Melania (the movie) falls on its face, nobody wants to perform at KENNEDY Center, and Trump is furious at Trevor Noah for his remarks about him at Epstein Island. He, of course, says he is suing Noah.

Peanuts in the grand scheme of things if Trump and his cronies want to development it all. Example look at Stephen Ross, et al Hudson Yards site in Manhattan; a $25 BILLION development


Not a fair comparison. Hudson Yards is HUGE, a new development and private.

I thought Watergate was basically impossible to tear down because it’s owned by too many people? Demo costs and toxic remediation also exceed value

He’s going to tear it down.


With a normal functioning Congress he could never do that. It's crazy how SCOTUS gave him the power to destroy the entire city.


Maybe he can tear down the Supreme Court building next—they can meet in temporary trailers next to the rubble pile. Or perhaps hold arguments in the 100k person stadium on the White House lawn.

Authoritarians eliminate artists and educators.

Lazy, no good Trump appointed government workers who don't know how to run a business, this is what you get.


What do government workers have to do with this? Federal funds only pay for building upkeep.

Just rabid LWNJs refuse to go. Normies are still going to and enjoying the Kennedy Center. Sorry to disappoint.


You support an authoritarian regime. You're not normal. Ticket sales way down to nothing at the KC.

By 2028 DC will be littered with massive piles of dirt and rubble because everything will be held up in litigation. Best outcome possible.
