For some reason I feel like it’s important we re-read/remember this quote. Not saying it’s an easy suggestion, just a wise one.

“Dear PoP,
Wondering if you or the readers have any idea what the new mural is on the side of the new Three Tree Flats building? (next to Wendy’s across from Qualia on Georgia Ave).
Seems to be an addition within the past few days…”
I’ll post the press release when it is officially sent out hopefully in the next couple of weeks.
Full disclosure: I was on a panel that helped select this mural.
This new mural is on the side of Smith Commons at 1245 H St. NE. Are we being blessed? In any event I dig it.

A week ago we took a look at DC Brau’s sweet brewery. At the time I pointed out a great mural that was obscured by cans. Here it is in all its glory. Awesome.
This great mural is on the side of FOBO GRO at 2140 F St, NW.
I found this great mural not too far from the Potomac Ave metro stop.
I don’t know if this should be a horse’s ass award because I’m really grateful that the amazing Toulouse-Lautrec mural has been preserved. According to Cultural Tourism DC:
“This portrait of cabaret singer Aristide Bruant by fin-de-siécle Parisian artist Toulouse-Lautrec has presided over the night life of Adams Morgan for 20 years. The mural was painted from a photograph by the restaurant’s original owner, André Neveux. Although Neveux considered himself only an amateur, the image has entranced pedestrians and lured diners throughout several changes in the club’s ownership. ”
Having noted that, it does seem like the space has been vacant for ages. Anyone know how long? At one point I heard a restaurant was going in but then I haven’t heard anything in a while. What’s the word on this great building?
I think the new mural turned out great. It’s located on the side of Sushi Ko at 2309 Wisconsin Ave. NW in Glover Park.
This is from the side of the Safeway on Columbia Rd, NW (you have to walk a bit in the alley to get a good look.)
This is on the side of Sushi Ko located at 2309 Wisconsin Ave. NW. The photo is about a week old but it looks promising. I’ll be sure to follow up when it’s completed.
