Park, (with Statues)

Look who's here again! This park is a city park, a well-frequented one, and here Churchill has his own corner.



















Know who this gentleman is?





















How 'bout now?





















"TO THE MEMORY OF WASHINGTON. THE HUNGARIANS OF AMERICA. 1906"

The graffiti was supplied by someone else. It took us two hundred years to go from fighting for our freedoms to mocking and debasing them. Maybe the Hungarians have done it inside of 15.
Somebody call Craig Radvansky and put him on the case.

Lenin's statues went un-defaced because the defacer faced gulag-time, or worse. Washington gets tarred and feathered because he wouldn't.

Was this statue standing through the communist period? In this spot? Dunno. I suspect the graffiti post-dated the secret police
