    Who remembers 13th and 14th street and the seediness…

    The Silver Slipper used to be at 815 13th Street. Which would have been where the alley is.

    That’s not a real bike. Real bikes have horizontal top tubes.

    PS: To be fair, the previous winner didn’t have a bike in the picture.

    Boo . Not nice dismal!

    From the article:
    “My wife is not so crazy about the place,” he said. “I guess she’s been in here only twice since we’ve been open. But I’ve met many fine and talented people down here.

    From me – we only heard about it growing up ( in nearby Md). A threat if you didn’t do well in school (made by teachers or rude students ) was “well you can always go work on 14th st.”

    Streetsmarts gets the point.

    Next: St Asaph Racetrack – a perfect one for weekend riding. There is a perfect kodak moment for this one if you know it.

    Hall “confessed to … shredding a large number of documents (so much was destroyed, she said, that the office shredder jammed)” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fawn_Hall

    Yeah for some of these there is a clear kodak moment. For others…… For Ms. Hall? I mean shredding docs is probably her 15 minutes of fame. Could take a pic in front of the NSC but that might not go over too well with the not-so-secret service. Could take pic out front of the Nicaraguan Consulate. I guess you could also take a pic out in front of Reagan Airport altho that too is a bit weak.

    If the peanut gallery awards you three points, then the wisdom of the crowd approves!

    From Wikipedia: “Contemporaneous conjecture placed the book under the joint authorship of Clarence King,*John Hay*and Henry Adams and their spouses who lived side by side on H street in*Washington, D.C.*and were collectively sometimes called “the Five of Hearts.”

    Photo is of the Hay-Adams hotel that now sits where their houses were… Thanks to non-Vision Zero compliant construction, I couldn’t get closer. [emoji852]️cc2ad774a0537e33cd2569c041758a4f.jpg

    And NemaVeze gets the point for Hinkley

    Next: The ultimate Freezing Saddles item – the best team ever – the winner of last year’s competition: Slacker

    Please remember that your bicycle is required to be in the picture.

    Also, this is not a winner-take-all game – as Oprah would say “You get cool swag and you get cool swag and you get cool swag” – anyone can join at any time
