The Eisenhower Memorial is now open - an odd word since, given its design, it can't really be closed. It's in a part of town that really needed something, replacing a short run of Virginia Ave which served mainly as a parking lot. I like the design. The screen along the back has a representation of the Normandy beaches on it, but it was difficult to see given where the sun was at that time if day.
where is this located in DC? that's a new space.
ReplyDeleteIt's where Virginia Ave. intersects Independence, across the street, to the south, of Air & Space. It now cuts off Virginia a block before it would intersect with Independence. It's directly in front of the Dept. of Education.
Deletethank you, dear hamster; SMOOCH!
DeleteWow. Thanks for sharing this. It looks very powerful. Hope you can get back on a good day for pictures of the backdrop.
ReplyDeleteIt hides the department of education building nicely
