1/24/21 – Apple Logo (but not on electronic device)

On January 24, 1984, Apple sells its first Macintosh, which differs from previous computers because it features icons to start programs instead of having to use command lines.

On your ride, take a pic of an Apple logo, but it can’t be on an electronic device (e.g., iPhone, iPad, Macbook, etc.).

1/24/21 – My bike at my neighborhood apple store!

1/22/21 – Polka dots

Apparently 1/22 is National Polka Dot day On your ride, find polka dots in all its forms out there; it doesn’t have to be clothing:
Polka dot is a pattern consisting of an array of large filled circles of the same size.

1/22/21 – This polka dot pattern can be found on many DC street corners.

1/19/21 – Beetle

On January 19, 1978, the last Volkswagen Beetle made in Germany left their factory in Emden. Find a beetle on your bike ride and post the pic of it here.

I vote Punch Buggy!

1/18/21 – #publicartfinder featuring (or by) a BIPOC

Let’s celebrate diversity on Martin Luther King Jr Day by taking a pic on your ride of public art that either features or is by a BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People Of Color). It’d be nice if you could let us know the location, and if possible, the artist.

1/18/21 – I may not get any points for this but the US Capitol is one of my favorite buildings in DC. This week, most of the pictures we’ve seen of the Capitol depict what looks like a foreign embassy in a war torn country. On my way back home today, after taking pictures of several murals, I noticed the Capitol up ahead. From my vantage point (New Jersey Av & N St NW), she appeared as majestic as ever.

So, how does this fit today’s photo requirement?
In case you didn’t know, many of the laborers that worked on the Capitol were not only African Americans, they were enslaved. The most renown slave laborer, to work on the Capitol, was Philip Reid. He cast the “Statue of Freedom”, the Capitol’s crowning feature, which stands atop the Capitol dome. That my friends is indeed public art, created by an enslaved black laborer/artist.

1/17/21 – Key, Kite, or Lightning: Actual Thing or Graphic (but not the Words)

On January 17, 1706, Benjamin Franklin was born. One of his most famous experiments is the key on a kite flown in a storm to attract lightning. To honor him, take a pic of a key, a kite, or lightning, but here’s the rub: not the words. It can be the actual thing, or a graphical representation of it. Oh yeah since everyone has keys in their pockets, not that kind either because that’s too easy

Confused? See Mr. Franklin’s reaction to answers below…

1/17/21 – I found lightning in the Bolt Burger logo.

1/16/21 – the word “Brewing”, “Winery”, “Mead”, or “Distillery” on a sign.

On 1/16/1919, the 18th amendment (aka Prohibition) was ratified. Let’s stick it to the man and flex on how easy it is to get into the “spirit” of things now by posting one pic from your ride. Optionally, you can also let us know if there is anything in particular you like in/from/about this place.

Please be responsible on this quest! 😮

Happy hunting!

1/16/21 – The closest brewery was inside the red zone, so I opted for the 2nd closest.

1/15/21 – Bagel

In honor of National Bagel Day on 1/15, on your ride take a pic of a bagel or a shop that features bagels. Let us know where the good stuff is!

1/15/21 – My neighborhood bagel shop!

1/11/21 – Plane

“On Jan. 11, 1935, the aviator Amelia Earhart began a trip to Oakland, Calif., from Honolulu that she would complete the next day, becoming the first person to fly to the United States mainland from Hawaii.”

1/11/21 – Plane – my first thought was head to the Air and Space Museum, but that’s so easy, when it’s only a mile away…..so I went in the opposite direction and found these at WWII Memorial.

1/10/21 – Nut

In my research, George Washington Carver may have been born on January 10 (or January 1), 1864, but other sources say he may have been sometime in June also. He’s probably most well known for his work with peanuts, but I thought it would be tough to find “peanut”, so I’m shortening it to “nut”. Happy Hunting!

1/10/21 – Nut – corner store advertising Good Humor bars that are covered in nuts!

1/9/21 – Balloon. Happy hunting!

On January 9, 1793: “Blanchard made the first balloon flight in North America, on January 9, 1793, when he ascended from the Washington Prison Yard in Philadelphia and landed in Gloucester county, New Jersey. This flight, observed by President George Washington, spurred interest in ballooning in the United States

1/9/21 – Balloons 🎈 found on my neighborhood ride today.
