I just realized that I'm staying in the hotel where Ronald Reagan was shot.

Wasn't he, like, shot on the sidewalk dude? Are you, like, camping out, like, on the sidewalk or do you have a real room? Do they have a plaque or something designating this as a historic monument?

He was shot as he was leaving the hotel. The curved stone wall right outside the terrace level entrance is easily recognizable as the backdrop for the TV footage of the shooting. I walked right over the spot where it happened yesterday afternoon, and there is no marker of any kind. No plaque, nothing.

Would they be mad if you drew a chalk outline on the sidewalk? It's for historical purposes, and all.
