What’s going on in Baltimore reminded me of this emergency announcement notice I once spotted at the Shakespeare Theatre in Chinatown. I’m all for preparedness but to be honest the fact that it even exists is unsettling. Let’s hope thoughtful people can work together to address past injustices, prevent future ones and make sure that this announcement is never heard.
Rhode Island Ave NW and North Capitol Street, NW
A reader writes in:
“Just noticed these new flashing FLOODING signs in Bloomingdale at the intersection of Rhode Island Ave NW and North Capitol Street. Seems odd they put up permanent signs when they are supposedly fixing the problem now.”
Post Express reported:
“Soon, Lucy [1,582-ton tunnel boring machine] will begin boring a tunnel deep under First Street NE, which will, hopefully, solve a longstanding flooding problem in the neighborhoods of Bloomingdale and LeDroit Park.
When completed, the 2,700-foot tunnel will hold excess rainwater and sewage and then slowly pump it back into the treatment system after a storm has passed.”
On Florida Ave.
Ed. Note: Pun intended.
Thanks to a reader for sending from the S4 Bus. Someone is pranking their friend good. Nicely done.
No comment on vaping but I always like to give props to those who invest in real signs. And I kinda dig this one too. DC Vape Joint is below the former Pharmacy Bar and future The High Dive on 18th Street.

Ed. Note: I’ll never tell!

From North Capitol. It is new right?

“This sign will enrage most women in NW. We hoard those receipts in hopes of a free mani after 10 visits.”
