The law's "thematic appropriateness" requirement is interesting. Do the Washington/Lincoln/Jefferson memorials' spots have thematic appropriateness? I doubt it; they just are beautifully placed in locations that create symbolic geographies.

I would also love to see a large-scale memorial at the Awakening's old home at Hains Point, but Ike might not be the best fit there, unless you want to make him into the Colossus of Rhodes. Better to wait for a memorial to Channing Tatum.

The Maryland Ave plaza certainly could use a little love, and Gehry simply isn't a good match.
