Eternal Life on the Landscape:  The name is Lajos Kossuth, and his visage leaps off the wall of the Kossuth House in a bas relief sculpture.  From his niche, 'the father of Hungarian democarcy' has been watching over the Dupont Circle neighborhood since the 1930s.  Democracy has a history and Kossuth is part of it.  [2012]

Federal Triangle Heritage Trail:  While you are waiting in line to get into the National Archives, you can catch a glimpse of the Archives being built.  It's just too bad the crowds aren't lining up at the historical marker.  They are virtually all looking down at their iphones (which is where the markers of the future will be).  [2012]

Washington, DC

Federal Triangle Heritage Trail:  A string of 16 two-sided, free-standing placards presents the history of DC's Federal Triangle.  Stop 3 puts you in eye-shot of the FBI and introduces you to J. Edgar Hoover.  The theme of all these markers is landscape change.  [2012]
