signs of the times

We’ve all seen tons of the presidential signs around town but I thought this one was awesome with a blown up photo above it with the candidate and resident.

It so saddens me that often the sweetest city signs are for stores/restaurants now defunct. I have no doubt that Red’s Fish & Chicken was once a spot not to be reckoned with…

Greater Goods at 1626 U Street has a couple of awesome green roofs over its two bay windows. Ed. Note: I plan on doing a post on green roofs in the near future so stay tuned for more details. But in the meantime I thought these were worth noting. Can anyone explain the benefits? Check out another photo after the jump. (more…)

I think I may have posted a previous mural from this building in Shaw. But for posterity I had to include this incredible (hilarious and sad) mural. After the jump check out another mural of some famous Washingtonians from the same building as well. (more…)

Or is it a sign for the times?


I just don’t get these random proclamations. And what makes someone hang one from their window? I’m dying to know what they “can” do. Care to speculate? Whatever it is, for some reason I find it very petulant. Once again, what’s wrong with me?

This is from the bar at Haydees in Mt. Pleasant. By the by, it was a good fundraiser at Haydees for the fire victims last week. PoP readers represented. Thanks for those who attended.

No cell phones? I can’t decide if that is the coolest thing I’ve seen or if it is slightly insane. It’s not like it’s a movie theatre but I generally despise people’s phone conversations. So, ok, I’ve decided this is a pretty cool policy. What do you think?
