As you can see from the photograph, my parentsâ hallway fixtures were entirely enclosed by a rectangular glass âglobeâ (which is, apparently an antique, as a replacement globe of the same variety seems entirely unavailable through normal Internet channels).
A Georgetown staple where JFK allegedly proposed to Jackie is celebrating a milestone of itâs own. Martinâs Tavern is turning 80. Martinâs Tavern, established 1933. Martinâs has served a number of big names over the years. And itâs rumored to be the place where President Kennedy proposed to Jackie in whatâs now known as the restaurantâs proposal booth.
