The guide we had knew the Capitol grounds plantings better than some horticulture people I know, which was not what I expected from a ghost tour. Lovely evening.

A 10 pm start is late for us but October nights downtown are perfect for walking. Bring a layer, it drops fast once the sun is gone.

Took out of town family on this last fall and they still talk about it. Good answer for the relatives who want to see something other than your kitchen renovation.

Uneven brick warning is real. Flat shoes.

This was how I finally learned the downtown street grid. Two hours of walking beat six months of driving it.
