Cleveland Park Getting in the Banner Game
These banners are double sided with green on one side and black on the other. Which do you like better these or the new ones from Adams Morgan? Personally I prefer the NoMa banners. Back in 2009 we looked at some other examples of neighborhood banners.

Frankly, as a Texan, I have never had worse enchiladas than I had at Mi Cocina. I don't...
Wow – embarrassingly bad. Looks like the something “designed” by a not-really-that-clever-kid and pushed through by doting but deluded and well-connected parents.
I want to know who got the contract to make all these awful banners. They all look like they were designed in MS Paint. Follow the money…..especially in DC….
indeed… looks trashy.

A comment on the 2009 banner post questioned who pays for these banners? Anyone know?
80′s midwestern mall.
These are both terrifically trashy. I’ve never understood why neighborhoods/BIDs/ANCs ever want/allow these things.
How about banners that say “Cleveland Park – NIMBY Central” or “Cleveland Park: We’d Rather Have Vacant Storefronts than Restaurants”
Awful. I wish the banner trend would die.
Ugh, me too. Reminds me of every Simpsons episode when Mayor Quimby gets sold on a stupid trend by a fast-talking salesman. Like the Springfield Monorail….
“Hey BID….nobody will notice all those cracked sidewalks and rats if you put up some of my super-awesome BANNERS!”
I wish Adams Morgan would bring back the light-up shoe and martini glass.
How about instead of wasting time and money on banners, Cleveland Park instead ends its outdated restaurant restrictions to give folks more of a reason to go there than to see a movie at the Uptown?
I prefer the Dupont and U Street banners. The fonts on all of the others could use a different font or background color. There is so much more out there besides Arial Bold ALL CAPS.
This banner trend should end. Now. But I’m always bemused by the comments claiming empty storefronts and few restaurants in Cleveland Park. Clearly a lot of PoPville repeat what they read on here without checking out what’s actually in Cleveland Park.
I think the next PoPville contest should be to set these catchy lyrics to music:
Live it up!
Live it up!
Live it up!
Live it Uptown!
Which ones do I like? None of them.
