“I'd like to suggest that LHF make some mention of the Cohen Bldg. issue in the attached article in HyperAllergic,” writes Paul Gottlieb. “It's also most unfortunate that the public doesn't have any way to view the murals without having a government ID--few and far between these days!”
Thanks, Paul; we've covered this story a couple times (a tour of these murals was a regular feature of the annual DC LaborFest for a few years), most recently in last Friday's edition. Keep those tips and suggestions coming!
