>From Gary Menges of PreserveNW
"You have all heard about the snow in the Mid-Atlantic region. Here's a
report of its impact on a cultural institution:

Building 21 at the Smithsonian's Garber Facility has collapsed in the
blizzard. The building is apparently currently unsafe to enter. "The Paul E.
Garber Preservation, Restoration, and Storage Facility, located in Suitland,
Md. is where the National Air and Space Museum preserves and stores
aircraft, spacecraft, and other artifacts, and restores these artifacts to
represent a specific period in their history.""
