Neighborhood Pic: Window Dressage
PQ Living hasn’t posted a Photo of the Week in a while so we’re going to retitle the series Neighborhood Pic. Regardless, this photo of an Urban Outfitters Ann Taylor Loft (707 7th St NW) employee touching up the window display caught our attention for its color texture and smile evoking nature. It made us wonder, is it live or is it Memorex?
