Love Note: Charlotte’s Web
I spotted this ground-level window-scape nod to Charlotte’s Web as I walked along H Street one day. It made me laugh, and wonder who? and why? Regardless, I love it.
Love Note: Dark Horse Sidewalk Sign
Oh Dark Horse, your coffee-themed witticisms never fail to make me smile.

Choose Respect 2013
