“Dear PoP,
I’m a big fan of free speech – yay soapboxes for whackos – but shouldn’t there be restrictions on pure noise? I know this issue has popped up before – streetcorner idiots with amplifiers that can be heard two blocks away. These guys are particularly ugly, but I don’t really care what the cause is – I shouldn’t have to hear it over a loudspeaker in my neighborhood. Anyone know what the deal is? ”
I remember talking about these guys before. They’re often outside of the Columbia Heights metro. And I know that H Street, NE has dealt with a similar situation. I find them terribly irritating. But here is my serious FQoTD – how far does free speech extend? Can anyone set up outside the metro and spout whatever they want, whenever they want? Where is the balance between tranquility and free speech? Is it just a decibel level? Maybe I should set up next to them and start preaching about the beautiful life? Anyone got my back? Warning, I bruise and bleed easily…

Short and sweet. I dig it the most. Please email me directly for your t-shirt.

“Dear PoP,
It looks like they’re recycling the space and bleachers from the Washington Kastles for some kind of Nike sponsored event, at 11th and H streets. They’ve built a basketball court and have set up a concert-style stage at one end, where they’re testing a sound system. One of the banners on the bleachers says nikebasketball.com but the website doesn’t say much about who if anyone will be playing (basketball or music) – just calls it a “community day” and says it’s tomorrow, Friday the 14th.”
Sounds cool, anyone else know more about this event?

Where does Som Records find these? I love the facial expression on this one.

Again, not exactly a proper garden but I love the way this looked cascading over the retaining wall. This whole row of retaining walls on Adams Mill Road looks pretty sweet.

This one really spoke to me…

While the door is nice, the brickwork is exceptional.

I really like these mini row houses. I think the red jumped out on me with this one. But I dig it.
