I guess I just share the same sense of humor as USA! USA!:
“Do I look like I want to contribute to the ACLU, Greenpeace or CARE?”

It’s located at 1626 Lincoln Road, NE but the address may be a bit decieving. It’s sorta on North Capitol near Quincy. I’ve passed by this spot, on the other side of the street, dozens of times. I don’t know why I’ve never checked it out myself but thought I’d ask if there are any fans out there?

Bless you Som Records. Bless you. My only complaint is that they have to get a hook up like the Smithsonian so we can listen to some tracks of these great album covers.

If only I could get a peek of the vestibule behind this sweet outer door…

I really like the big bay window on the second floor. If memory serves I think this is from the Bloomingdale neighborhood or nearby.

I call the above – “Burglarize my home please”.
I forgot to thank a reader for sending the word that V Street, NW between 13th and 14th got renamed Langston Hughes Way.
And the above I just found odd…

“Dear PoP,
Just found this in the D.C. Municipal Regulations, which appears to remain
the rule of the land…
From Title 22
103.15 Any dog going at large between May 15 and October 15th in any year
that is not properly muzzled shall be taken up by the pound master, who
shall charge the dog’s owner one dollar ($1) for its redemption.
103.16 Any dog that is not redeemed within twenty-four (24) hours after
being taken up by the pound master may be shot by the pound master.
I assume they don’t just shoot dogs any more.”
What’s the significance of May 15 and October 15th? Is that when dogs are in heat or something? There’s no way they still shoot dogs is there?

“Dear PoP,
I noticed that the house with the fake stick-on bricks that has been discussed now has white vinyl siding!”
Wild. This home is located at 783 Irving Street, NW. It was a GDoN feature back in Dec. 2008. Here’s what it looked like then:
Any idea why they’d switch from brick to vinyl?

Thanks to a reader for sending this great find from the Smithsonian Web site. You can even listen to the songs here. Awesome.
