The house is blurred out if you look at it from the street view. Must be some government official or VIP type person.

Odd neighborhood for such a thing...and blurring it out seems to affirm whatever import the address might have for anyone suspicious.
 
I'll explain why I was google-earthing that area...first I went there to check out location of the National Cemetery because of the trump arc posts...then I noticed that off to the side was a small park called "Zitkala Sa Park."

Zitkala Sa was an indigenous activist for women's and Native American rights as well as a concert violinist and composer. She was also an author - her most famous essay was "Why I am a Pagan."







I'm still curious why a park in that location would bear her name.

Looks like the park was named for Henry Clay, the Kentuckian who was Speaker of the House and a slave-owner, until 2020.

Zitkala Sa had lived in the Lyon Park neighborhood of Arlington.

Love your historical curiosity!!


Zitkala Sa composed an opera. We used to read her work but our humanities program was quashed.

Anyone can request to have their house blurred out. My neighbor's house is blurred out on Google street view.

I've seen and read about some of the inappropriate content that google has captured. Mostly people having sex in interesting places.
