This is a super cool one from Georgia Ave. Not sure if you can tell but it actually takes up two sides of the building.

How can you not like Flamingos? Although I do hear they can be ferocious during the months of August and September. If you do encounter one in the wild during August and September you are supposed to stand as tall as you can and make loud noises, do not try and run away for the the Flamingo can reach land speeds of up to 46 kilometers per hour. Anyway, I still like the mural.

I guess I just like the ocean. But this mural is particularly nice if you recognize that the terrible Georgia Ave. Safeway is mere feet away.

I dare say this was the longest I’ve ever stared at a garage door.

Damn that grate. Nevertheless, this is one of my favorites.
|
I love randomly walking through alleys and discovering these cool murals. They continue to knock my socks off.

I like the roots but they kind of freak me out a little bit but overall I still like them.

Although this was the mural of the week a number of months ago. But I just noticed that this boarded up building has another cool feature besides the mural – the windows. That’s one of the things I like about our neighborhoods, you can walk by the same thing a thousand times and on the thousandth time you notice something new. Anyway, the windows here are the super cool old school stained glass variety. Check out a close up after the jump. (more…)

It’s funny, I’ve never gotten off at the Columbia Heights metro before. For real. I was stunned to see this mural. It is wild and totally unlike the ones in Petworth and U Street. So do you prefer this style better or the more traditional ones depicting DC back in the day? I always was pleased to see a Chevy Chase bank machine in CH. I remember writing a while ago how bogus it was that Petworth doesn’t have one. And U Street doesn’t have one. But I guess one out of three isn’t too bad.

Thurgood Marshall, Frederick Douglass, but who’s in the middle?
