Norwood Street ---> Duke Street (northbound I-395 in Virginia)

"You know, you never have a guaranteed spot until you have a spot guaranteed."
—Olaf Kolzig, as quoted in the Washington Times on March 28, 2003,
commenting on the Capitals clinching a playoff spot.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"
—Kolzig, to the same reporter a few seconds later.

Duke St -> Evans Mill Rd (Lithonia, GA):


1995hoo

Evans Mill Road ---> Lake Village Drive (Kingstowne, Virginia, at its intersection with Grange Lane; I previously posted the other sign seen here).

N Edgewood Street → Des Moines Street (because every city should have a street named after itself, right?)

Des Moines Street ---> State Place

I was originally going to walk down to State Place to take a picture there but changed my mind because there were a LOT more Secret Service personnel out and about than usual on Friday, probably because at that point there had been three fence-jumping incidents in one week, and I thought walking up to their checkpoint to photograph a street sign might cause trouble.




Edited to add: I suppose Seventeenth Street would be valid if someone wants to play an "H" instead of an "E." I think it's less interesting of a street name than State Place.
