I am again, asking for a picture of the Hitching Post which is at the
intersection of 6th and South Caroline Ave in SE DC.  It is near
Eastern Market.  Any help that you could provide me would be greatly
apprecaited.  If you find it you will get a bonus

FYI:

The hitching post is a metal post which sticks out of the ground and
was used during Abe Lincoln time to tie up there horses when the
cowboys went into the bar to have a few drinks.  It is stand as one of
the last hitching post in the city of Washington DC

FYI:  Eastern Market is an upscale neighborhood in south east Washington DC.

Someone in DC get around there and make photo, plus a couple that
verify the location.  :-)

Based on the EARLIER post the road is Carolina not Caroline (messed up
my search for awhile :(  )

Just so researchers know:

This one is labled by the Washington Post as
"The hitching post in front of a Sixth Street SE house. (By Julia
Feldmeier -- The Washington Post)"

Is NOT the one.

Weisfeld's Market Inc

This is one block away...perhaps a phone call and someone can run over
with a cell phone cam and snap a pic?
