But Where Will Fat Kid Get A Snack?

Apparently, the American History Museum at the Smithsonian is set for an overhaul. While I can't argue the flow and lighting needs to be redone, I think the talk of closing the entire museum for repairs is absurd. The AHM and the Air and Space Museum are the two most beloved Smithosian museums (although I prefer AHM). Imagine being a kid from podunk, podunk and getting to go to Washington, D.C. during the blazing summer and being unable to see Dorothy's ruby slippers, the first star spangled banner, or all the first ladies dresses (ok all of those are for girls or v. effeminate males). Also, the Smithsonian offers an interesting respite from the scorching heat. Besides, the AHM recently was reorganized which resulted in a huge food court and gift shop addition. To close the entire museum for renovations after 40 years seems would be a huge blow to AHM's employees, visitors and DC residents. So, Fat Kid votes no on the shuttering of the American History Musuem for remodeling.
