@John, In fact, they are more historic than here.

"Historic" in the sense of "Historic Preservation" doesn't necessarily equal "Historic" in the sense you're using it. And incidentally, the 'wire issue' isn't a preservation issue. It's simply a matter that the master development plans for Washington, the L'Enfant Plan and the MacMillan Commission's plan, call for a low rise, monumental city with ... open skies. Wires strung from one pole to another, no matter how thin, violate that fundamental design element. And I find it astounding that Wells and DDOT didn't bother to try to understand the reason behind Congress' ban on wires before trying to appropriate it control of it to themselves.
