This sign is from the gas station located at 14th and W. I don’t know about you but the only food I’m buying at a gas station is a bag of chips and maybe a slim jim…
Is it just me or does it seem really wrong to buy fried chicken or Chinese food at a gas station?
Check out the sign in the top left corner. A reader took this photo above Busboys & Poets on 14th and V Streets. I suspect “Andy” may be a liar of some sorts. Any guesses here? Could it be a bad break up? I believe the owner of Busboys & Poets is named Andy – perhaps there is a bit of a fight going on between some of the folks living above Busboys & Poets and the establishment.
Anyway props to the reader for the good eye.
Continuing my quest to photograph all the sweet old school city signs before they disappear forever.
“Things you don’t need…on Georgia Ave”. But I’m going to disagree. Who doesn’t need the occasional beanpie?
This would be a pretty bad way to go out. But then again if you go out like this you could become a finalist for the Darwin Awards…
Cake Love and Love Cafe, located at 15th and U St, are offering $1 off cupcakes with your “I Voted” sticker.
But seriously don’t forget to vote!
I really support the mission of this group so no disrespect intended but if you put up a big new sign like that then those attending are not really all that anonimos. I’m just saying…
Thanks to Pat for sharing the old sign:

This is the new clothing store that opened up at 832 Shepherd Street. I give much respect for new stores that invest in a proper sign. I think it shows a real commitment to the neighborhood. And damn that’s a sweet quote up top:
“Styles in Fashion Be Flyy”
Can’t argue with that.
But this is absolutely an exception: “Where Looking Good is Understood.” Beautiful.
Incidentally, I’ve found the new PoP tag line…
