Random

Since I’m off grid a bit and since we’ve spoken about a ton of fun/unusual stuff over the years – today and tomorrow will feature a random smattering of past topics I encountered on searches.

A Murmuration of Starlings or a Serious Case of Ornithophilia?

Thank you all for indulging in my recent obsession of birds, yesterday’s will be tough to beat but today we’ll focus on an unusual situation in Petworth. In the building above the YES! Organic Market on Georgia Ave – apparently there are either a ton of birds or someone who’s playing a really loud recording of a ton of birds. A reader captures the scene a bit (though I’m told the video doesn’t do justice to how loud these birds sound):

“This was filmed on Taylor St, a block off of Georgia. My neighbor said she’s emailed the management company for the building that Yes is in, but hasn’t received a response.

What on earth is up with the loud recording of bird noises on Georgia by Yes? This has been going on for days, only at night.”

Video here..

I was originally admiring the sign below the food but…Looks more like a chicken sandwich, no?

hahaha fantastic!! Thanks to one of the organizers for emailing us. From The Citizens Advertising Takeover Service – Washington, DC kickstarter page:

“Back in September 2016, Citizens Advertising Takeover Service launched the first takeover at Clapham Station in London. So we are now taking it across the pond and launch the first one in the USA, starting with the nation’s capital.

We want to takeover a small DC metro station…something like Dupont Circle or even Cleveland Park (in honor of Ollie, the National Zoo’s bobcat).

Whoa…How? (more…)

Why should car dealerships and appliance stores get all the benefits. Bravo to Le Bustiere Lingerie in Adams Morgan for getting in on the action. To those who will have nightmares for weeks I apologize. To those whose boat is floated – you’re welcome.

Thanks to Casandra for sending.

Ed. Note: We once spotted some, uh less traditional, lingerie from some other holiday but I can’t find it. I guess I’ll take this opportunity to wish all who observe a very happy Easter!!
