1333 H Street NE

Another one of the many DC statehood murals we saw around Capitol Hill. If it ever happens -- impossible under a Republican administration -- the District of Columbia, with a new name, would become the 51st US state.

I just loved these DC statehood murals, the majority of which were very colorful and creatively executed.

The Capitol Hill Restoration Society is offering a new walking tour, this time featuring murals around the Hill, about which they say:

“Capitol Hill is home to many dazzling (some, quite literally) works of art, painted on the exteriors of homes and businesses. Some murals are well known to the community – but we’ve included them because we love them and the Mural Tour wouldn’t be complete without them. Others may be familiar only to their immediate neighbors. Several of them have been on view for decades but many are more recent, including those that are part of the DC Statehood Murals project. A couple are on the sidewalk. One is not actually a mural at all but it’s art on the exterior of a structure, so no reason not to give it the attention it deserves. … Art is always best appreciated in person; particularly true in this case where the scale and placement of the work made photography a challenge.”

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.

I really like these murals on the brick which seems to add a little something extra.

They certainly do spruce up a blank wall.

There must be quicker way to put an end to the GOP. But the image does make me hungry for cherry pie.

What a neat take on the sentiment. Who knows- could happen.

Nice Mural excellent wall are and the cherry pie may be the answer to DC 51.
Send truck loads to our leaders at the White House and it may happen.
Nice sharp shot and one that makes you want a slice of that pie.
