In its original glory I’m sure this sign looked super fresh. I wonder how much it would cost to refurbish?
And here’s a bonus reader submitted one from the Milwaukee airport:
Awesome!

signs of the times

This photo is of course the famous Wonder Bread building on the 600 block of S Street, NW. Sadly, there has been no movement on its development. It is such amazing building:
Do you think the developers are just waiting for the economy to get better? Or is there a larger issue at play in the lack of development?

“I frequent past this sign on the way to and from my fiance’s place and thought this would be something you’d like to have on your blog. Sadly, the proclamation on the sign isn’t true… the store has been closed for a couple years now, but I hear that the owner’s trying to open it up again soon. If he is, there’s a LOT of work to be done w the store before he can open it up for business again.
This is on 3rd and M St, NE”
Coldest Beer in Town is among the greatest proclamations I have ever read in our fair city.

A commenter mentioned that there are tons of sweet city signs on H Street, NE. And indeed there are. I thought this sign was particularly amusing because Ohio is not generally considered the south. But as I was checking out this spot I noticed that there was a permit in the window.
It seems this spot at 14th and H Streets, NE is slated to return to a functioning restaurant. Apparently it will be called Radius at the Ohio and will be a restaurant with a summer garden and sidewalk cafe. This spot is very close to the great Argonaut restaurant/bar so that section of H Street will be particularly sweet.

I spotted this sign on H Street, NE and got a bit of chuckle. That’s insane, right? 23 Hours? I wonder what happens during the 24th hour…

hellomarkers! took some great shots at the waterfront. There are two more great shots after the jump. (more…)

I love this old school sign from the liquor store on Calvert Street in Woodley Park. If memory serves, I think they saved this sign from their original location across Connecticut Ave.

Wild! A reader sent in this photo (sadly just of the plaque and not the tree.) It was found on New Hampshire Ave. somewhere between Dupont Circle and M Street. Anyone ever seen this tree/plaque before? Pretty cool.

So I see “Money Order” is one way, “DC Lottery” is a second way, but what’s the third way…? Any Cincinatti fans out there? Imagine if they had Skyline chili?

This might be a re-PoP but I love the cartoon guy to the left:
