Thanks to a reader for sending:

“Maybe he was the real source of the poop emoji???”

Just another morning on the mean streets of Mount Pleasant Street. But let’s take this opportunity to make it a caption contest.

ugh

Ugh, this guy annoys me SO much. Wakes me up EVERY weekend SO early. Theft? Arrest him, I say.

  I’m not a violent man, but every time I see/hear him I wanna punch him in the fking face. If you don’t agree, then you’ve never been jerked out of delicious sleep by his horrid voice.

The sound of his voice is like the smell of Subway, you sense it when it is faintly in the distance-and you immediately know what it is.

Is this really him? I’ve never seen him wearing shorts, and he’s always got the same blue jacket on – doesn’t look like a blue jacket in this photo.

    OP here. Not *the* singing guy, I guess, but a guy who was singing, was drunk, and definitely did not work at Subway. The Subway employees were yelling at him to come back.

is definitely not the MtP singing guy in the pic. I saw him this morning in MtP around 7:40 am wearing his standard blue fleece and pants, then saw him again all the way down on Florida and 19th St at about 8:45. Not wearing shorts.

He is just trying to save the tourists from confusion: In DC, we call it the Metro., and it’s more then 5 blocks from here.

Blame Ronald Reagan for cutting mental health care. Anyway, the singing guy was in Mt. P. long before Subway. I love him!

Say what you want about his singing…he appears to be having a banner day!!
