You Never Know when History is Going to Jump Out and Bite You in the (Expletive Deleted).

I've walked down Charlotte Street for years on my way to the Post Office and only recently noticed this marker to one of the city's famous sons, Matthew Fontaine Maury, in the grass next to the sidewalk. Part of the reason may be the only view you have beyond the marker is the chain link and barbwire fence surrounding the post office parking lot.
