What's he got there, a bird whistle?

One hundred years ago this week, the Bolsheviks took control of Vilnius and began massacring civilians for having supported the Polish militia. It was big news at the time.

The art is better in Ljubljana, Slovenia, “The Lovely City.”

Compare Vilnius and Ljubljana (my favorite east Europe city) with the "art" on Tirana buildings!

It's a racist dog whistle.

SDaly @1:50-- I agree, except for the one of Frank Rizzo, who actually deserves one. Assuming BLM hasn't arranged to have it painted over yet, I've not been down there for a while.

It is big and it was a lot of work but I am not enthralled except for the enormous work to make such an incredibly ugly sized piece of what I suppose has to be termed 'art'.
