2. when I lived in suburban VA Arlington, I used to go to a Mex restaurant just off Washington, or

Wilson Boulevard. whenever I went, I could always see a red brick building a block or so away

hanging over the door was this flag:



it was where Rockwell used have his HQ, and was still there, years after his murder
