“Hey PoP,

I know you often post cool city signs and I saw this ridiculously cool one on a site I often search for old picture of DC (www.shorpy.com). Apparently 1727 7th Street NW used to be the “Happy News Cafe” back in 1933. Thought this was pretty cool. May not be new info, but it’s new to me.

Check our the High Def version of the picture here – http://www.shorpy.com/node/6071?size=_original
I also like the caption under the picture.

And if you want to see the inside of the place, it’s here – http://www.shorpy.com/node?page=1

Very cool!

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
