ThayerAvenue.com is One Year Old Today

April 20th, 2008 | Category: Misc Silver Spring

It all started with one simple post. Thanks to all of you who have provided content, comments, and other fodder over the past year. This endeavor has been more fun than I imagined, and I look forward to more in the years to come. Incidentally, that makes our birthday 4/20. Coincidence? I think not.

Rites of Spring
Praline BakeryThe first day of the Fresh Farm Market was a sight to see. Interesting that it’s being set up this year on Ellsworth west of Fenton. I kinda like everything centrally located over there, but I anticipate it will get pretty crowded as the season progresses. I’d also like to give a warm welcome to newcomer Praline Bakery. Man, are those some tasty treats, or what? If anybody liquidates the [edited so as not to divulge tastiest treat there] before I get there on Saturdays, I’ll cut out your heart with a spoon.

Jesus is The Man
This banner went up at the church on Bonifant near Fenton.

Jesus is The Man

Is my translation correct? Jesus is The Man? Or would that be el Hombre? el Jefe? Do they mean this in a good way? I work for “The Man” (*not* the Jesus one) and assumed the capital “M” had negative connotations. Am I reading this right? Does this mean Bonifant isn’t that sinister after all?

By the way – the fountain appears to be off-limits for the time being.

    Granted, my familiarity with some regional Spanish dialects is limited, but I believe the sign reads “you’re the man now, dog!”

    My Spanish prowess starts with “Donde esta la cerveza” and ends with a monthly reminder of “Esta as su cuenta de Pepco.”

    BTW, this is the best YTMND ever.

    Brioche — Thayer Ave is a whore for Brioche.

    line for photo:

    They got cameras, they got locks, they got watchers, they got timers, they got vaults, they got enough armed personnel to occupy Paris!

    Okay, bad example.

    Happy Birthday. Guess it’s time to change the bong water.

    Happy Birthday, ThayerAvenue.Com. It’s been real

    Happy B-Day and many more!

    I think it means “Jesus is Lord.” El Senor = Lord.

    Thanks for clarifying.

    b: Does “changing” the bong water imply drinking it? I sure hope so…

    We use to fill it with Strawberry Hill wine way back when, and Yes it does.
