Random Verizon Sales Tent Set Up on a Residential Block

So bizarre to see a verizon tent set up in front of someone’s house. This one’s from S Street just west of 14th.

Thanks for the Garbage Can

Not exactly sure how a Georgetown BID garbage can ends up in Petworth but I’ll take it. It’s on Georgia Ave not far from Qualia coffee.

Some friends of mine moved to Hyattsville, MD. I went to visit and took a wrong turn. I passed this. Unfortunately I had a crying baby with me at the time so I didn’t get to take as many photos as I’d wanted to but I’m definitely gonna go back!

And next door to today’s house of the day is the great bay window with rotating exhibits. Sadly the sheep are gone for now.
