The Sun Sets on Fort Monroe
Obama signed a Presidential Order today naming Fort Monroe as a national landmark, under the auspices that it will somehow create 3000 jobs. I don’t see how shutting down a military base, losing thousands of jobs, and reopening it as a tourist attraction will create new jobs, but okay.
At least the old Fortress, which once was the prison of the Confederate President Jefferson Davis will remain intact. Fort Monroe remains one of my favorite places from where I grew up.
