There's this one elephant in opera gear near dupont that I particularly like. I might have to steal him.I doubt they were paid for by the city. When Chicago did their Cows on Parade (or was it the Walk of Cows? Can't remember the exact name), each cow was sponsored by different companies and artists. So I would assume the cows and donkeys are the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not about being original. In Chicago, they had cows. Cows=midwest. In DC, they have elephants & donkeys. That=politics. In New York, they have bums on the street. In Miami, they have silicon. In LA, they have smog. It's all about representing the city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinybutterfli Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 geez - i knew it wouldn't be long before someone started spray painting those animals!there is a cherry blossom elephant that I think is really cool - I can't remember where I saw it. I want to say it was on 11th St somewhere but I'm not sure.There is a really ugly donkey near the CPK on 18th St. Its green with pink flowers. Ewwww!The metro elephant near Farragut North is pretty cool looking too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellywelly Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 why are they referring to these animals as if they were real?...."both D.C. artists, spent a week with their animals at the hospital, nursing them back to health. Prima Donkey was admitted about a week later, and three other animals --" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragongrrrl Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 I like them, but i tend to like tackiness. They brighten up the city a bit, i think, and maybe add a little sense of humor to things. In Providence, RI last year, they had potatoes for some reason. I have no idea what that was supposed to say about Providence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vicman Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 maybe it has to do with the clam chowder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadygroovedc Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 Originally posted by vicman maybe it has to do with the clam chowder Mmmmmmm... Clam chowder.... I remember this restaurant in the Marriot in Nashua, NH. They had the best clam chowder. They served it in a round loaf of sourdough bread. After you were done with the soup, you could eat the bread which would be drenched all the way to the crust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats how most New England states serve the chowder, it's called a bread bowl. Don't ask me why but for lunch I had clam chowder, calamari and a few too many drinks. I havening a tough time putting together sentences, I knew it was a bad idea, but I do feel GREAT!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the combination of the excellent clam chowder WITH the bread bowl makes NH number one in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
