Just a quick one today. On a recent walk around downtown Raleigh, I saw that our Liberty Bell replica, located on the bicentennial mall, has been muffled. Hopefully this isn’t a permanent thing. There’s a bad joke out there, for some anyway, because the liberty bell is located across the street from the state legislature building. :P

While looking up some history about the bell, I found this nice WRAL segment about it. If the video doesn’t load for you, jump to the source.

On a recent walk today, I noticed the bell was not muffled anymore. So we rang that thing as loud as we could.
