In far more positive news, NYC’s Stonewall Inn has just been declared a national monument – which I suspect means drink prices will skyrocket!  Have you ever tried to get a gin and tonic at the Lincoln Monument?  They really stick it to you!  Back to our story – the Stonewall Inn and the area around it (including the surrounding streets and Christopher Park) have been designated as the new Stonewall National Monument and will be overseen by the National Parks System.  In making the announcement, President Obama said, “I believe our national parks should reflect the full story of our country – the richness and diversity and uniquely American spirit that has always defined us, that we are stronger together.  That out of many, we are one.”
