We’ve seen this sign close up from 1126 H Street, NE but I really like the perspective of this shot from rockcreek. The shoes up top make it all the sweeter.

signs of the times

I actually don’t have any problem with all these signs at Panda Express on Irving Street. For the record I actually like Panda Express. However, here’s the sign I have a problem with:
Do they really need this paper sign stuck into the ground? Can we start a movement to ban all of these stick in the ground signs? I can’t stand all the “We’ll Buy Your House” “We’ll Buy Your Car” etc type signs. And of course we’ll have hundreds of politician signs popping up for the 2010 elections. Who’s with me for a ban of these signs?

Can’t you just get wings cheaper somewhere else… Do folks actually think the wings at Hooters are that good?
And of course this reminds me of a hilarious quote from Old School:
“How was Hooters?
I actually didn’t go to Hooters.
Yeah, right.
Skittles?”

A reader sent in this sign a while ago but I had the opportunity to run across it myself last weekend. It is so amazing I had to re-post for those that missed it. I’d also like to add, from the files of you can’t judge a book by its cover, there were a bunch of “tough” looking fellows sitting out front but when I walked over to take the photo they were unbelievably nice and friendly to me.
But bottom line is that this sign may very well be tops in the city.

I wonder why back in the day they used letters for the first two numbers? Was it just easier that way when you’d say, “operator, ring me JO 3-1000”? Anyone know the reason?
I thought it was interesting that after noticing this one a couple hours later I found another from a different company.

I don’t get it but I sorta love it. No, I definitely love it. But I still don’t get it…

I thought this was an interesting combination – Zeman Store featuring clothing and groceries. Zeman Store is located at 4418 Georgia Ave. I suppose it’s like a mini Target. Sweet.
And in sadder news, right next door at 4414 Georgia Ave., Fana Fish & Chicken Southern Style has closed:

I love this one from H Street, NE. There is just something about “Latest Fashions” and the script that stops me in my tracks every time I pass it.

I thought this sign was amazing. It is from the Capital City Market. In checking the PoP archives for a must read article on the Market by Nichole, I see she got a very similar photo. At any rate be sure to stop by the market to visit the great Litteri

For some reason I’ve had a lot of posts on poop scooping. I’m not sure what that says about me… But anyway, I thought this sign from Mt. P was really kicking the whole thing up a notch.
I’d love to see the reaction of the cops when someone walks in with a video tape making this complaint…
