The hurricane will miss DC, so feel free to come to the Mall to visit the Smithsonian, try to parallel park, give up and go to the mall at Pentagon City instead. The Hope Diamond and Edward Hopper, or the Orange Julius and Forever 21, it’s all good.

We have Edward Hopper (his [best painting](https://thumbs-prod.si-cdn.com/2OBnAm5JUtrBIvXwEO9zTV1Rva8=/800x600/filters:no_upscale()/https://public-media.smithsonianmag.com/filer/31/66/31664fb3-def9-42cf-868f-706a22a36313/hopperx.jpg)) and Forever 21 in Chicago. Parallel parking sucks here too. Hope Diamond is considered bad luck and hey…no hurricane in Chicago.

So come to Chicago. 😉

Whoosh. And Hopper’s best is Cape Cod Evening.

Whoosh back.

And nope. Nighthawks. Hopper has lots of good stuff but face it, Nighthawks is the iconic Hopper painting for a reason.

And that painting is in the Art Institute in Chicago. Seen it many times. Always a treat to see.

Heck of a storm out there. Yesterday afternoon it was drier and sunnier than it’s been around here in weeks!
