Everyone's talking about the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. I visited to see it for myself.
The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, renovated by the Trump administration at a cost exceeding $16 million, has turned green with algae despite efforts to make it 'American flag blue.' The pool, now a site of ongoing cleanup and protests, was intended to be a centerpiece for America's 250th anniversary but has drawn criticism over its no-bid contracts and ineffective algae solutions.
