Baptist Alley does not have much traffic, actually very quiet most times, however I would never recommend it except anytime except daylight.

My understanding is that Henry Rathbone's home on Lafayette Square was his home at the time of the assassination. I believe Joan Chaconas confirmed it with a city diectory. Also there was mention that Henry moved to a larger house, I don't rmember the address, but it wasn't the Lafayette Sq. address.

In Lafayette Square, you will encounter protesters. You usually don't have to worry about homeless people in Layette Square. Besides, sometimes that bum lying on the park bench has nice black shoes and an earpiece just like the Secret Service where. Very secure area. If you sneeze, a tree may say, "Bless you".

The Old Ebbitt has gone upscale. It is gorgeous inside, but it does have the bar out of the old location. I worked at the old location , 1427 F St. back in the 70's. I waited tables there on the 4th of July 1976. I was never so busy. Laurie, we owe ourselves lunch there sometime.
