Another piece of nothing to make something out of. Mountains out of molehills. Or, in this case, some kind of contemplative meaning out of a printed map of the army base at Ft. Knox, KY in 1963.
Okay, what are the salient points - the visiting points - there's the chapel, the post exchange, the recreation hall, Theater No. 3, and the visitor's lounge, to mention just a few.
And then there are the streets. Probably worth the most mention. You have your numbered streets - Seventh and Ninth surround the compound. Probably named by the city itself. Then there are streets named for states - South Carolina, Maryland, Delaware, Nevada, Texas (East Texas, actually), Utah and Dakota. And now - the U.S. Army's salute to the Indian tribes they decimated: Apache, Seneca, Iroquois, Huron, Seminole. The Triangle Chapel is on a triangle of land bordered by Seventh, East Texas, and South Iroquois.
A mediating influence?
