This stunning joint
in Georgetown, DC,
really caught my attention.
The striking red-painted brick,
with the stark black trim
and big black block letters,
that door - black with gilt details
surrounded by a massive gold frame,
and dandy windows
gently announcing
"Live Jazz"
with fun saxophone and eighth note graphics
(noticeably weathered when you look closer)
and
you'd almost miss the lady
sternly studying the parking payment kiosk -
she's practically camouflaged.
Then this
eye-popping edifice
is framed by calm, taller white
guardian angels
and
crowned with a
counterpoint swath
of blue sky.
What's not to love?
