Yeah But What Are The Parking Restrictions?

Thanks to a reader for alerting me to the dozens of Found Rabbit signs in Columbia Heights. It’s nice that someone would go to all the trouble after finding a pet. It’d be weird, though, if it was a wild rabbit…

Very weird.

My brother once found a snake and put up “Found” signs. He insisted it was “too friendly” to be wild. (Don’t worry…not in DC!)

There’s an oppossum that lives under my back porch. Gee, now I’m wondering if I should put up signs and see if anybody lost him (or her).

it’s probably best if you don’t post signs over other, government-erected signs tho – esp if you have your contact info on it.

Anyone else thinking this sign could be read a different way?

I think you may be on to something Rachel; It is far too apropos not to post this link -

now if someone could find some nice carrots and an onion or two they’d have a nice dinner.

i’ve posted links to eavesdrop several times on this blog. it’s awesome. a bunch of mine were picked up, and they’re totally surREAL. this is one of the best cities for eavesdropping, especially when you work on the Hill.

I was there when the rabbit was rescued!!! Really, a proud moment of neighborly cooperation. I saw this girl running around someone’s yard and there was a guy with her who was holding a branch. I was wondering what they were doing. Then I saw the girl grab the rabbit being coached by the guy. She got it -it was obviously domesticated rabbit (very sweet, very cute). Another man stopped to watch and we all discussed what to do with it and had a good laugh. The first guy got a box and the girl brought the rabbit home. I ended up walking home with the other man and learning a lot about the neighborhood that he’s lived in for over 20 years! It was one of those moments that makes me happy that I live in a neighborhood with such friendly and caring neighbors!! Columbia Heights is great!
