AboutStephen Hosmer Expertise Hi everyone, let me introduce myself, my name is Stephen Hosmer. Many people call me Mr. Washington DC for termoudous knowledge I have of the city of Washington DC. My top knowledge of all is the metro system, which I have been riding now for nearly 25 years every weekend to all the major attractions in Washington DC. I have a great wealth knowledge of all the cities great museums and monuments, annual and seasonal events, newly openly museums and short term exhibitions, bookstores and libraries, sports events, parks and recreational area's, local tours (your might want to go on) malls and shopping centers and places off the beaten path which you might be looking for, while you'll visiting Washington DC. I also know a lot about places to eat in Washington DC, from the local fast food McDonalds to the very fancy sit down evening out with your family of four. I also have a great wealth of knowledge of where to get government historical related questions answered. So if you post an all-expert question to me I will try to give you a honest, fast, correct answer all the time.

Question Hello. We will be in DC for 1st time for the holiday celebrations. We're staying in a nearby campground, but would like to tour during the day & have a good 'seat' for the concert & fireworks that night. Will we have to 'reserve' a spot early? Can you just leave lawn chairs unoccupied close to the concert area during the day?
Thank you,
Answer Sorry that I did not response to you earlier, but I was out of town from June 10th-June 24th.
Sure,that is a very good idea to come early, with a blanket (best to come with one you don't mind loosing in the worse case seruio) and spread it and leave it there for the day. There are always an ovious chances like anything else in life you someone might take it, move it or something else might happen but I won't worry about that It will likely be there when you get back in the early evening. I think the show start at 8pm or 9 pm.
After that, I would enjoy the day on the mall in the museums and at the folk life festival as it's the 4th of July !!!!
