It’s Time for our annual What the Helen of Troy is the “Green Paint Shop”?!? (you know, the “microscope” spot)

1739 Connecticut Ave, NW

“Dear PoPville,

I’ve been stymied as I try to figure out what this is – a very carefully-constructed big window display for the “Green Paint Shop” close to City Lights, around 1735 Connecticut. Internet searches turn up nothing, except for one Reddit conversation saying it had been covered in PoPville. Somebody clearly put a lot of work into this, and all I know for sure is that it’s not a paint shop. The display includes MANY cans, each with a different label.

Is it … art? The front of some hidden speakeasy? A joke? It seems to take up a storefront of some kind that includes a locked door. Hmmm.”

Ed. Note: When we previously spoke about it we learned:

“United Therapeutics Corporation focuses on the strength of a balanced, value-creating biotechnology model. We are confident in our future thanks to our fundamental attributes, namely our obsession with quality and innovation, the power of our brands, our entrepreneurial culture and our bioinformatics leadership. We also believe that our determination to be responsible citizens – having a positive impact on patients, the environment and society – will sustain our success in the long term.

Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Lung Biotechnology PBC, we are focused on addressing the acute national shortage of transplantable lungs and other organs with a variety of technologies that either delay the need for such organs or expand the supply. Lung Biotechnology is the first public benefit corporation subsidiary of a public biotechnology or pharmaceutical company.”

Though I still think it’s art.
