^yes. The only danger at this location is being run over by a motorist from Maryland.

Faison's writeups make me crazy. And not in a good "I'm crazy for buying this house!" way.
The Dancing Crab's commercials have to be the worst I've ever seen. The owners saying,...
I always thought this place was a front for something. It is the oddest place and never open.
That’s what I love about it! It looks so much like a front that it’s clearly not a front. I assume people who run fronts would make something more quotidian, like a Potbelly’s or Men’s Wearhouse.
The family the runs the place has owned the property since the 1950s. They weathered the ’68 riots by barricading themselves inside with shotguns. Thanks to their heroic dilligence, you can now enjoy jester hippos wrapped in plastic. God bless America.
Creepy!
How is this news? Every great monarch should have a troupe of jester hippos.
I love this. It makes me think of carnival prizes.
Why are they suffocating those poor hippos?
This joint always makes me wonder about the days when, apparently, there was a sustainable market for novelties.
Although it may not be visible to the average city dweller, that market has never disappeared.
I went in this store once to see if they would hang a flier for the Help the Homeless Walkathon. The owner was very nice but kind of creepy…
Awesome. But where can I find a hippo in an Uncle Sam costume? It is our nation’s birthday, after all.
I have been looking for these!!!! The perfect door prize for my bbq. A special raffle winner will get the naked doggie with yarmulke…
flag is hung backwards if it is meant to be viewed from the sidewalk….
These hippos are getting some read air time.

I need one of those.
Why is one of them naked? That’s pervy.
’cause it ain’t a hippo. That’s a dog. You only dress hippos don’t you know!
Went there for some last minute decorations (this was pre-Target), the place smelled weird and, have to agree with hiphopanonymous, the owner was kind of creepy… cool hippos though…
Wait till PETA get’s ahold of this!!!
If you own the property, you can do whatever you please with it, even pink hippos. Most readers can only dream of being as successful as this family.
