Overheard in DC…
Passing by the Treasury Building.
Mother: “Look kids (points to plaque), it says on this spot, Canada and the US became friends!”
Grandmother: “You know, just once, I’d like to pass by one of these damn buildings and see a sign that says ‘In 1870, absolutely nothing happened here.’ “

There is one in Annapolis, on the corner of Randall St. and… either Prince or King George St., in the Rainbow Cleaners building. I think the date is “July 7, 1782″ or something similar.
