Kiefer said he will attend a retail real estate convention in late summer in Las Vegas, where he will seek tenants for Washington Square Mall. One of the mall's few current retail tenants, an antique store called Treasures, will close at the end of May. Kiefer said Treasurers was asked to leave to make the space available for a larger retailer. Treasures owner Mark Short didn't fight the request. He doesn't plan to reopen at another location. They have been good to me. Sears, despite its frequently reported national difficulties , remains the mall's anchor store.

After decades of deferred maintenance that caused the Mall to slip into a blowsy, weedy, concrete-crumbling state, it has been whipped into semi-respectable shape in just 30 months. The earthquake-damaged Washington Monument finally reopened May 11, and it looks splendid inside and out.
The National Park Service , the Smithsonian and the non-profit Trust for the National Mall have used a combination of drips and drabs of public money and intense private fund-raising to achieve badly needed Mall renovations. The wretched, algae-filled Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was totally rebuilt in , given a new water supply and serene, wide sidewalks. Several panels of the weedy lawn near the Capitol have new, green grass — and you easily can see the contrast by looking down at the Mall from the top of the Washington Monument.
Part of the Jefferson Memorial seawall near collapse has been fixed. The Mall gets between 25 million and 29 million visitors a year, more than Yellowstone, Yosemite and the Grand Canyon put together.
Visitors don't just see monuments and museums; they sit in the parks and wander its miles of stone pathways until their feet hurt and their backs ache.
