Where’s News Box?

Posted by gpliving
January 15, 2009

newsbox_mystery_sml

Early this morning, a Penske truck pulled up to the Gallery Place metro stop at 7th & H St NW and out came 2 workers with dollies.  We thought it was a food delivery truck, but instead of walking into a restaurant, the workers walked towards the rows of news boxes that populate the intersection.  They took a few news boxes away.  There is no doubt that this was done to clear the sidewalks for a large amount of pedestrians expected during the inauguration next week.

Normally, this isn’t really incredibly news worthy, but we thought we’d turn it into a trivia question!  What news boxes are missing from this picture?

Readers who chime in with the correct answer will learn how to receive a free cupcake from Red Velvet today. ;-)

No red or blue, so the Times and the Post?

Don’t you just have to line up for the cupcake before 10:00? First 500? Lame prize :-)

Ok, I’m declaring the contest over! Red Velvet is giving away a free cupcake to the first 500 people starting at 11am!

Reference this large flickr pic for the answer!
