The United States Postal Service has issued a new line of stamps commemorating some of the best Depression-era post office murals from around the country. One that made the cut is right here in Rockville, although to make things confusing, it is currently located in the Rockville Police Department headquarters at 2 W. Montgomery Avenue. That's because the police HQ used to be the Rockville post office.
"Sugarloaf Mountain" by artist Judson Smith (1880-1962) was completed in 1940, and depicts the famous local peak south of Frederick near Barnesville. This is the mountain you can easily see from tall buildings in Montgomery County.
You can order the stamps now from the USPS website. A sheet of 10 forever stamps is $5.50. Designed to raise morale in the Great Depression, perhaps the mural can now help raise morale in moribund Montgomery County.

ReplyDeleteThe more you use moribund over and over the less of an impact it has. You have said you went to some elite high school so use that education to write better posts.
If you are the only person who can fix the problem then stop wasting your time on blogs and fix it!
You're so pathetic, Dyer. You even feel the need to try and shit on a freakin postage stamp. The world will be a better place when you're dead and gone.
ReplyDeleteThe artwork on that stamp looks like a wall is being built!I think it's the fence in the foreground that makes me think of the Wall that will be built on the Southern Border.That is really cool,I'm ordering my Southern Border Wall commemorative stamp today!

ReplyDeleteWell done, Dyer. You just implied that none of your readers know our local geography. You might have just called everyone "carpetbagger". Condescending idiot.
Thanks
