Anyone know what the story is with “I Am” Temple? This sign is located on Calvert in Woodley Park. Pretty sweet quotation marks.

What the Helen of Troy is This

But not standing water features. This pool of water here is likely to provide enough breeding grounds for mosquitos to menace Brightwood, Petworth, Columbia Heights and Mt. Pleasant. If not more. I don’t know if folks are hit by mosquitos as bad as I am but this sight terrifies me. I’d say we have like 2 weeks left before I can’t sit on the porch without showering myself in Deet or skinsosoft. True story – I once put so much skinsosoft on that I couldn’t open the door to get back in I was so greased up.
Anyway, a friend of mine told me that in Berkeley, CA you will actually get fined for having a pool of water on your property. Maybe we should institute something similar here?

A reader sent in this photo saying:
She saw this truck “on the 300 block of T Street Saturday night . . . I guess this means someone has a haunted house?”
Then I was at Wonderland and someone said they have lived in a house that had a ghost. So I thought I’d throw this out there – anyone ever live in a haunted house? If so describe what you saw/heard. I wonder if these guys have them music? Dang now the Ghost Busters tune is totally stuck in my head…

Totally wild. Thanks to a reader for sending. The reader writes:
“This was from Friday evening…maybe after 7 or 7:30 in front of Staples.”
Welcome to the future.

This bizarre shot is from Tyrannous who asks a great question – “What is it?”
Submit your photos via email or to the PoPville flickr pool here.

“If you’re driving by the National Arboretum on New York Avenue in NE, there are these odd castle like structures. (Very MacMillanReservoir-ish/esque)”
Anyone know what the story is here?

This is pretty odd. There is a sort of door covering, kinda looks like and old phone booth, but it sits underneath a covered porch. So, hmm, what do you think the story is? Functional or aesthetic?

I noticed this in a few gardens around town this weekend. It looks like the flowers have been bent in half and held in place by rubber bands. If it was just one house I wouldn’t ask but it seems lots of folks are doing this. So for the gardeners out there – what’s the deal?

What did they use this for? Oil? Natural Gas? What time period is this from? This one looks kinda new. Is it really expensive to remove them or is it possible that they’re still used?

I don’t know why but I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw this. It was just so insanely random. Consider this a bonus caption contest opportunity!
