Why does the lock stick so far out in the back?

What the Helen of Troy is This

It’s too small to be an air conditioner. Any ideas?
In Lieu of “Coming and Going” Please Accept a Carriage House and a Question I’ve Been Meaning to Ask
|
Typing at a computer all day and night, my neck is killing me. Last weekend I walked past Lunar Massage at 1101 5th Street, NW. They say 20 minutes for $26. Is that a good deal?
And here’s the carriage house folks have been mentioning when talking about the “pink house” at the corner of 4th (or is it 5th?) and M Streets, NW. Absolutely awesome!

This is just outside the Capitol Building. It has no windows all the way around. I’m guessing it was used to store something at some point. Any guesses?

This odd photo taken in Takoma Park is from binklesworth who succinctly titles it, “What the?”. I feel the same way. Huh…

I notice this a lot in my backyard as well, I see something new growing every Spring and I can’t remember if it was planted or is just a weed.
I’m pretty sure the one photographed above is a weed but it’s pretty wild how it’s growing out of the window sill.

Here is another from a series of “SW DC” photos by lmno.p who writes, “While taking this one, two undercover cops posted up on the corner and watched.”
So what in the Helen of Troy is this a photo of?

I couldn’t for the life of me figure this building out. It’s located at the 200 block of H Street, NW. Any guesses?
The murals make it much less of an eyesore.

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

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?
