Has anyone visited the location of the Ronald Reagan assassination attempt? I am going to be visiting Washington, DC fairly soon and am interested in checking it out. Are there any markers/plaques/etc? Has the site changed much in the last 25 years? I just want to be sure I can find it. I know it was at the Washington Hilton Hotel--1919 Connecticut Ave, and that the shots were fired on T Street, but I can't find any info on the present-day layout. Any help is appreciated.
