RSS FeedDefinitely Not The Photo Of The Week
We’re not sure what to make of this sign which we noticed taped to the boarded up doorway at 1342 G St NW (next to the old Clements Bakery). Is it really just alerting passersby that there is a women’s restroom located here that will cost you 25 cents and you have to supply your own waste disposal device?
Whatever the case this is a strange (and slightly disturbing) sign. Anyone have insight as to what is going on at 1342 G St? Apparently that site was the location of Dragon Massage [Parlor] some time ago.
A zoomed in photo of the sign is available here.

Work Almost Completed At 901 E ST?
On Saturday we noticed there wasn’t the usual construction work going on at 901 E St NW. This time, rather than building something up there, they were bringing something down. Namely, the scaffolding which has covered the front of this building for such a long time, is slowly being dismantled.
Walking by again this morning (Sunday) we could see the workers once again starting to take the scaffolding apart. It will no doubt take a while to bring it all down, but is this the beginning of the end to the ongoing construction of this building? Will Pew and the other non-profits soon be moving into their new spaces?
