905 U Street, NW
I always like to give props to new businesses that invest in real signs (instead of plastic banners) so props to Off Road Cycling. The building turned out nice as well. You can see what it used to look like in 2011 here. And today:
signs
I look forward to seeing these every year. It’s from Mt. Pleasant Street and Park Rd, NW.
A couple weeks ago we saw the old sign on the 1300 block of 9th St, NW getting restored. It turned out great.

“The restored Julius Viedt Jr. sign is done, looks great and we are thrilled. I highly recommend the artist Mark Walker at www.lordants.com. He is also the artist responsible for the great chalkboard work at SundeVich and their painted signage on the wall below ours.”

I’ve always loved this old Fidelity Storage sign touting 1000 indestructible rooms seen from 14th Street, NW just south of U Street. Well the cranes have gone in for the coming Louis at 14th development so not sure how much longer we’ll get to see it. Fortunately there is another sweet old sign closer to U street that should still be visible but it doesn’t mention the indestructible rooms. All will be forgiven when Trader Joe’s opens…
Random awesomeness from the 7-eleven on U Street. I’m still trying to figure out what the artist was thinking here…

Well, at least they both say please…
