As many long time readers are aware, every weekend I take a pretty big walkabout around town to take photos, follow up on tips and what not. Since March it has been, mostly, a very depressing endeavor for obvious reasons. Recently, there is one place that is regularly packed in front of Capital One Arena.

Thanks to Elaine for sending from Florida Avenue, NE near Union Market. Someone (The Pug?) shared this is on twitter last week and I think the sign originally had a typo that said “Fatten that curve”. Either way, oof.
Yesterday there were 20,290 total positives.
