“Dear PoP,

I’m wondering whether any of your readers have insight into the eccentric storefront pictured in this photo, which is located at 12th and Pennsylvania SE, on the north side of Penn.”

In case folks can’t see from the photo – the window signs say, Yes We Respect ourselves, our mother, our father, our teachers, our friends.

NACOHHSS is:

The National Advisory Congress of Observers for Highway Home and School Safety (NACOHHSS) is founded for several purposes, observation, education, training, advising and action in the areas of highway, home and school safety.

and Safety PIINS is:

NACOHHSS and SAFETY PIINS are national organizations founded in 2001 to assist citizens, organizations and governments in recognizing safety concerns and assisting in the reduction and elimination of such hazards. This organization of advisory members involves themselves in being interested in highway, home and school safety.

Once again proving that DC truly loves acronyms…
