REMEMBER THESE? The Newseum's Today's Front Pages showcase was always a top attraction at its old location in Rosslyn and out on its Pennsylvania Avenue sidewalk before construction began on its new D.C. facility, which is expected to open this spring.

But the next generation of Today's Front Pages is on the way. Penn Quarter Living recently spied new front-page display cases in front of the building at Pennsylvania Avenue and 6th Street NW. According to the Newseum spokeswoman Tina Tate, the museum's staff will continue to collect a sampling of the more than 500 front pages sent in daily, print them out and display them in a new special gallery inside the building on its sixth level and in the cases outside.

The sidewalk display should be ready in about a month. In addition to current front pages, the cases may display historic front pages as well.

Can't wait that long? Today's Front Pages are available online.

  • You can see that I'm biased, but don't you think Google should update their satellite imagery? 555 Penn hasn't been a parking lot in a loooong time!
