Is it possible to lose anything worse than this?

I’m not sure if the picture does it justice but these numbers are gigantic. The two is also a bit odd but all in all nice work here.

Toke or “Toke”. Any ideas for the rationale behind the quotes?

I once posted a photo of this church on 13th Street back in the day but that was when I was using the camera phone so I wanted to capture it in its proper glory. Seriously pretty sweet, yeah? And this is coming from a non believer. There’s just something very old world European about it to me.


What’s this one?

Which is freakier – this or the clown?

Sometimes less is more they tell me. Just a classic good looking house.

A reader writes: “I know you don’t like to get political :) but I thought maybe you would want to let your readers know they can participate in the ANC1B meeting next Thursday if they have any concerns about the reopening of Republic Gardens. The meeting is April 3rd at the True Reformer Building (12th & U) at 7:00PM.”
I never knew people had a beef with the Republic Gardens, what’s the story there? Why was it closed down in the first place?

A reader writes: “I wanted to draw your lens to one that I am sure you’ve seen and thought about. It may be simultaneously the best and the worst sign in Columbia Heights and Petworth taken together. Yes, I’m talking about the Tivoli sign.
On the up side – it’s historic, it’s a landmark, there are two of them, it evokes a 19th century Danish garden …
On the down side – no one seems to be in charge of replacing the burnt out light bulbs.”
So have you noticed many light bulbs that need replacing? Otherwise do you dig this sign the most?
