Thanks to Cassie for sending: “Ancient technology sighting in on Calvert St. in AdMo. I wonder how many people walked by and had no clue what this is. Sadly I’m old enough to remember toiling over one of these in my first office job.”

5037 Connecticut Avenue, NW

How have I never noticed this before?!?! In the parking lot/rear entrance to Comet Pizza. Apparently it closed in 2005 – anyone ever visit?

“Dear PoPville,

My boiler here in Petworth broke last spring. Pilot light wouldn’t stay lit. I finally got it fixed today, got a great neighbor referral to a local HVAC guy, turned out I had to replace the gas valve. My teenage kid is now so thrilled to own an antiquity from the 70’s! Hope they still build them like they used to!”

Thanks to J. for sending: “Saw this ~30 year old sign on my walk in Petworth the other day. Sharon Pratt Kelly hasn’t been mayor since 1995!”
