Every year, the National Mall gets more visitors than the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, and Yellowstone combined, yet those who stroll through it must walk on cracked sidewalks and dead grass and gaze upon fetid pools of stagnant water.  Our favorite German automaker is trying to help change that though, and here at Fletcher Jones Volkswagen, we can't wait to see what this space will look like once it's been given a much needed facelift.
