57: Huge, clear, well maintained signs designed to direct a lost army of tourists., originally uploaded by nickfarr.
Two comments:
1) These are also helpful for locals who get lost easily.
2) Why aren’t your photos in order? I see you have 4 but this is number 57?
(OK, so that was really 1 comment and 1 question.)

@Alli Rense:
1) The distinction between locals and tourists in DC is about as muddy as it gets anywhere in the US. Having lived here for several years doesn’t necessarily make you a local. After all, the city was supposedly designed to confuse invading armies.
2) The numbers are always randomly assigned as I take the pictures. By the time I reach 100, it’ll be time to move.
