I live 2 blocks from the globe in Flushing Meadow Park.

If you stand in the middle of my street you can see it perfectly.

I live around the corner from the U.S. Naval Observatory -- home of the Vice President's residence.

I also live near Georgetown and American Universities as well as a few embassies.

Oh, and the Clintons' home isn't too far from me either.

Why did you have to remind me that it's 37-7 right now, thanks to VT and friends.

I live near a house that was designated a landmark, I think because numerous old presidents, back in the 1800's, stayed there when visiting this part of NJ.
