centennial station

So, one of my favorite buildings in the city (and only viable lunch option for me right now) celebrated its 100th Birthday a couple weekends ago. Unfortunately I missed all of the hoopla while in picking up my race packet for the Army Ten Miler in one of my least favorite place in the vicinity, Crystal City VA. The Union Station centennial celebration sounds like it was pretty interesting event complete with classic locomotives that you could tour.
While this sounds nice it doesn’t really hold a candle to the way this lady in the UK celebrated her 100th birthday in Aug of ‘07, by smoking her 170,000th cigarette. Talk about holding power. Daniel Burnham would be so proud.
