General McClellan Statue

George B. McClellan (1826–1885) rose to prominence as a major general during the Civil War who organized the Army of the Potomac. Although he was unsuccessful in early battles, the Union victory at the Battle of Antietam temporarily halted the Confederate invasion of the northern states. He was later removed from his post by President Abraham Lincoln, whom he unsuccessfully ran against in the 1864 presidential election. McClellan ran again for public office after the war, serving as the 24th Governor of New Jersey. (From wiki)

Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt’s Home –
2131 R Street NW, Washington, DC, 20008

From 1917 to 1920, while FDR was Assistant Secretary of the Navy, the Roosevelts lived at 2131 R Street NW. Today, there is a plaque by the front door that acknowledges the Roosevelts period of residence here.

Now it’s the home of the Ambassador to Mali.

2/6/21 – ice cream & selfie

I couldn’t fit the name of the place into my selfie – I coulda taken the pic from the street, but I’m frankly not that comfortable leaning my bike against a wall and going that far from it. Nevermind the Arlington crime rate – I’m just not doing it. You can see the awning with the name of the place if you scroll up a bit to Accordioneur’s picture. Or lookit my Strava post from today – it’s a quax, too. [emoji16]

Nadine, there were no rules about having the name of the location in the selfie! Definitely, keep your bike close and ice cream cold! If you see Toby, tell him I said Hi!

I’ve never had rolled ice cream before, so that’s what we got!

It is definitely fun to watch them make it! Tell Kate I said “Hi!”

2/6/21 – Ice Cream or Frozen Yogurt

Just a few stores down at Westover from yesterday’s clock tower is Toby’s Ice Cream. Years ago this location was a bakery, then it became an ice cream shop called “Scoops Beauregard” (as some FS participants well know), then eventually it became Toby’s.

Toby is a long time friend of ours! (Fun fact – he used to mountain bike with us!)

We love his UBE ice cream. Ube is a purple yam (popular in the Philippines and SE Asian countries).
Will definitely have to plan a ride down to visit!

Not funded by the New Deal, but Franklin D. Roosevelt enacted the New Deal reforms from 1933-1936.

The FDR memorial was dedicated in 1997. It consists of five rooms that represent a prologue to his presidency and his four terms.

This sculpture of him in a wheelchair was added in 2001 after a campaign from the National Organization on Disability. This statue depicts his own design from a kitchen chair and tricycle wheels.
