The President’s Park: Why make a new one when we have decomposing Commanders-in-Chief already around!?

It was a ten-acre sculpture park and had an associated indoor museum formerly located in Williamsburg, Virginia in the United States. It contained 18 to 20 foot high busts of the Presidents of the United States from George Washington to George W. Bush.. it closed in 2010 and since then has provided years of creepy photos, lightning strikes, and bees’ nests taking over the eyes of former Chief Executives.

About a decade the Asian Flu of 1957, another strain was suddenly filling the world’s hospitals with patients..

Woodstock’s mud.. It would go on to kill over 100,000 Americans and even hospitalize an American president .. It was the dreaded Hong Kong Flu pandemic of 1968..
