ART of WAR Concept: It is only the enlightened ruler and the wise general who will use the highest intelligence of the army, and thereby they achieve great results.

Last week, during my lunch break I drove over to the Bellevue Community for the Grand Opening of the William O. Lockridge/Bellevue Library. All I can say is WOW. I always thought the Anacostia Library was nice and new, but I have to say that the residents of Bellevue really got a top notch facility.
This is not your average library, this is an architectural masterpiece. This $13.5 million 22,000 square foot facility will become a tourist attraction for architects around the world to visit and take notes on how to build a building that truly adds value to a neighborhood.
Yes, you have your books, computers and meeting rooms, but what is special are the views. You get a fantastic view from just about every angle. With the large windows you get so much natural light. I took some photos of the grand opening event, but I encourage you to drive over to Atlantic St in Bellevue to check this out to really appreciate the library.
