Following along the lines of yesterday’s city sign, I thought I’d continue the theme with this supermarket sign located at 1231 11th Street, NW in Shaw. Any fans of this spot?

signs of the times

I love this one. Anyone recognize where it’s from?

The “U Like” is super fresh.

I’ve noticed this sign at Pete’s in Columbia Heights a number of times. So I asked someone at the shop who were they quoting as “Best Pizza in DC”, City Paper? Washingtonian? Nope they are self declared. There was a weak explanation that many of their patrons tell them it is so. Brilliant! Don’t get me wrong I like their pizza and all but I think it’s a bit disingenuous to declare oneself the “Best”. I guess I’m troubled that they used quotation marks. Although, next week City Paper will release their best of issue so maybe they’ll win for the pizza category…

Here’s another cool shot from sophiagrrl who notes the three generations of signs. I think they can fit one more above the yellow sign up top…

Anyone recognize where this is from? It’s interesting that it’s called Lorenzo’s Billar Corner and not Lorenzo’s Billar Esquina.

I love this shot from sophiagrrl. Her caption says, “Located in Brookland, on back of a liquor store off Michigan Ave.”

The lady came out of the store and couldn’t understand why I was taking a photo. All I could say was – “Doo Grow, Doo Grow, that’s awesome!”. I think she thought I was slightly insane… You have to admit, that is a pretty sweet name, yeah?

Anacostia was good to me this week!

Also from my journey in Anacostia. Stay tuned for a PoPtrekker coming late next week.
