Unadorned cenotaphNot two days after I complained about the wreaths around the cenotaph in Victory Square, they were gone. Either someone declared January 15 as "Take Down Remembrance Day Wreaths Day" or the people in charge have been reading this blog.
Now I’m wondering whether the wreaths went to the landfill or is there a large room in one of the city’s ancient underground tunnels that is criss-crossed with clotheslines to which wreaths have been pegged so they can dry out before they are cleaned up for their next appearance. I hope for the latter.
