RSS FeedProject Awareness Litter Campaign
We’ve written various litter related posts before, but this morning we noticed a grassroots campaign (at least we think it’s a campaign) aimed at stopping litter. This campaign takes up the fight for wildlife – the last line (not completely legible in the photo) reads “Animals Don’t Have A Voice But We Do.”
Quick Internet searches didn’t turn up any online presence for these fliers so we have no idea who posted them. We found a few taped to park benches on the Mall this morning. No idea if they’ll change human behavior, but we certainly thought the Mall looked nicer after Memorial Day than it usually does.
New Poll: Why Do You Read PQ Living?
Our new poll asks why you read Penn Quarter Living as we’re trying to figure out who comes to our site and why. Please cast your vote in the new poll box along the right hand column.
For the last poll, we asked our reader community “Which new sit down PQ restaurant do you like the best?” and here are the results from the 198 votes cast:
(1) Haven’t tried any of them – 89 votes – 45.0%
(2) The Source (555 Pennsylvania Ave, NW) – 46 votes – 23.2%
(3) Asia Nine (915 E St, NW) – 43 votes – 21.7%
(4) LeeLoo Lounge (521 G St, NW) – 14 votes – 2.7%
(5) Didn’t like any of them – 6 votes – 1.8%
Almost half of our voters have not visited one of the three restaurants listed. That’s a shame because they all have their good points. The Source and Asia Nine duked it out for first and essentially tied with LeeLoo coming in next.
Thanks for voting and for reading!!!
Memorial Day In PQ
Certainly there are lots of events going on today in & around DC, but we like to highlight the Memorial in the heart of our neighborhood. The Navy Memorial will be hosting several events throughout the day today including the Navy Band Concert starting at 1:30.
We hope everyone has a safe and happy Memorial Day.
The Bus As The Preferred Mode Of Travel
This is the first time we’ve ever seen the new BoltBus service have a line more than about 10 people deep. Friday afternoon around 2 pm we caught a line a block long waiting to board this NY bound bus. Sure Memorial Day weekend probably played a big role here, but we wondered if there were other issues at play.
Only time will tell, but is the high cost of gas, higher airline charges & fees, and the fact that a ticket on the BoltBus is a tenth the cost of Amtrak helping the bus to be more popular with travelers?
