I had an e-mail sent to me with someone asking about open Masonic emblems in the "profane" world and I found myself scratching my head trying to think up some.
Now a lot of conspiracy buffs (nuts?) like to point to Washington D.C. as being rife with square and compasses, pentagrams, and owls (from the "Bohemian Grove" influences) or even to mirror ancient start alignments. But seriously, I was hard pressed to find ANYTHING that stood out as a Freemasonry influenced design.
What I did find was a surprise, but not as glamorous as many would like to believe. I found the city of Sandusky, Ohio, where the original grid planner, a Master Mason named Hector Kilbourne, built the biggest symbol of freemasonry right into the cities layout. Kilbourne also happened to be the first Worshipful Master of the Sandusky Masonic Lodge. I’m sure at the time of the founding, there was a prominence of Freemasonry in the city that was alive and well, but in the 176 years since the once majestic emblem of Freemasonry, built into the infrastructure, has all but been erased by the growth of the city. There does still exist a Masonic Lodge in Sandusky, which is Science Lodge #50.

"Fascinating, Captain." I did not know that.
Downtown New Orleans is rife with Masonic symbols in the buildings and neutral zones, but I'd be hard-pressed right now to give any examples.

i live near sandusky and it was known around here by masons. It is very cool how ingenous are forefathers were, what happened to that type of mason?
I couldnt find it.. but Ive heard many times that brussels belgium was built using alot of masonic designs.
To let you know I was born in sandusky Ohio, and Sandusky was the first city to use the masonic symbol for its grid.
Here is a link to a mapquest map of Parc De Bruxelles by Palais Royal just east of Brussels BE. It shows unbelievably clearly a compass. http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?formtype=address&addtohistory=&address=&city=Brussels&state=Brussel&zipcode=&country=BE&location=9p0FmTYVFTlolDAu6M3Zp1MB5mwlEhdCWvSD043KzLb2pqmOQiAyzC7GBM9YarjhNY%2fWGwDOCQS7brrQVhG9w6H1jASfUCdieDBNQkYLyY0%3d&ambiguity=1
There is a very clear symbol of a compass just east of brussels belgium at the Parc De Bruxelles, just north of Palais Royal. I used Mapquest, outside the US, picked country Belgium, typed in Brussels, came up with two locations, I picked "Brussels, Brussels, BE". Just zoom in to city level, look east and in a square is Parc De Bruxelles, the compass. Amazing!
what about:
the triple tau
the pentagram
lilith
washington monument
square and compass
pyramid w/capstone
these are all in the layout of washington dc
you are either an idiot or a liar
go to my utube page---burninbushmen
the highlight vid shows that locations of certain events line up to form masonic symbols.
A line from NYC to New Orleans goes right through the Pentagon.
NYC to Oklahoma City, goes through the Shanksville (flight 93) locale.
link those two spots to make teh capstone of the triangle shape.
WACO is right in between OKC and N. Orleans. link all that.
draw a line from NYC to Waco...in the middle is:
MEMPHIS. goosebumps yet?
a line from waco to new orleans can extend to Miami, so avoid that spot.
all true trace it like i did at google images---US map.

This design goes back to 1817. at that time every property owner in Sandusky was a Mason. The plat was completed on June 24th 1818, registered in book of deeds on July 4 1818, and Science Lodge began to operate that same year. While some consider this the sign of a conspiracy, it may be in fat only a celebration of the creation of a new lodge.
The original idea was started in 1817 and completed on June 24th, 1818, and filed in deed book on July 4th 1818. Science lodge received its charter on Jan 29th 1819. Interesting note the city of Sandusky was not incorperated until 1824.
