More Unnecessary Quotations

I know some folks love these signs as much as I do. Here’s one I found on the side of the Government Printing Office Building on North Capitol near H Street, NW. This is my new favorite one in DC. And here is the blog Unnecessary Quotes that everyone links to when I post one of these signs. It is hilarious.

China Boy Deli is located at 817 6th Street, NW. It actually has surprisingly good reviews on Yelp. Has anyone happened to check them out?

I don’t think they made our list of best Chinese food in the city.

We learned back in August that this great new restaurant name was coming to 17th and R Streets, NW. While not open yet, I just noticed they put up this sweet new sign. I still can’t believe how hilarious that name is…

Labyrinth = Peace?

I don’t know about you guys but the thought of walking a labyrinth would not quiet my mind, it’d drive me crazy looking for a way out. Or am I taking this too literally…?

If You Can’t Beat ‘Em, Might as Well Use ‘Em

Back in October we learned that DC was trying to get Clear Channel to voluntarily remove these billboards at the corner of 4th and P Streets, NW. At the time we learned that Clear Channel refused and filed a lawsuit. I noticed that the signs were still up. But what I thought was particularly interesting was that if the “District Government” was trying to get these sign removed – does it make sense that they would use one (even for a good cause)?
