Welcome to the Future

While this is a bit old, it seemed too good to pass up. A company called ScootAround Inc. is offering tours of the monuments on the national mall in "electric convenience vehicles," where they promise "Knowledgeable and entertaining guides will escort you on your leisurely ride, providing historical facts, interesting stories, and little-known anecdotes."

A three-hour tour of the National Mall and Tidal Basin is $75, and tours leave three times a week - Wednesday and Sunday at 10AM and Friday at 7PM. (See the monuments at night!) If anyone has actually seen a flock of scooters buzzing around the mall, post a comment and let us know!
