‘I am a Berliner’

I had read about some murals in Georgetown, a very touristy and crowded part of DC that we rarely go to, but we decided to brave the traffic to find some of them. We found this one on the side of a beer hall down by the Potomac River.

“JFK’s famous 'Ich bin ein Berliner' anti-communist speech – given nearly two years after the Berlin Wall was constructed – is depicted in Rodrigo Pradel’s mural on the side of The Berliner. Formerly Malmaison, the space is now a German beer hall – a natural fit for the mural.”

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