A Walk to Remember

Sunday night, we toured the D.C. area. We walked around Chinatown and finally landed at the Hardrock Cafe. Phil Collins jammed in the background as we indulged in two gourmet brownies topped with ice cream.

Afterwards, we decided to travel the route that runs from the Capital Dome to the Washington Monument through the World War II Memorial and finally finishing at the Lincoln Memorial.

I would estimate the trip was two miles in length. But the journey was well worth the blisters.

In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
