Liberty Bell Gets New Home

Bell's new home grand, but falls short of its goal
The Liberty Bell received a new home today. I already miss the old one. Its transparent edges making it possible to visit the bell at any time. To see the bell and Independence hall in one shot at anytime was something special. Often when friends visited they would remark that they didn't think they'd be able to see the bell at whatever hour we happened by. And even the low-tech presentation by the park personnel was just great. Low key, sober, and immensely powerful.
