Afraid you'll run out of time to show off our city's most prominent phallus to your out of town guests? The Washington Monument is making it easier by extending visiting hours for the rest of the summer.
Beginning Sunday and lasting through Labor Day, the monument will stay open until 10 p.m. every day. Normally the monument is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The National Park Service announced today it is able to keep the obelisk open later because of additional summer staff hired through the National Park Centennial Initiative.

there's a joke in here using the words "extended", "longer", "phallus", and "trebuchet", but i just can't make it out...
you forgot "staff"...
damnit!
Wow it hasn't been open at night in many years!
sad
used to be open from 8 am till 4 pm every day Fall, Winter and Spring and 8am till 12 midnight in the Summer
I don't even bother with the 'official' monument anymore.
I take my 'mo visitors by Hillrats house for a viewing of the real Mocha Monument.....
