Recently, one of my housemates and I drove past the Checkers at 14th Street and Maryland Avenue NE, and I noticed that it was boarded up. Considering there were a couple of crime-related incidents there in the past, I figured that either the shop was closing up for good or they decided to board up the walk-up area to prevent further incidents.

I was wrong either way, as evidenced by the photo above. That is the Checkers in question, and yes that is a blue SUV in the walk-up area. I guess they took the meaning of “drive thru” literally. Color me amused when I found the picture on Failblog, a site in the same vein as I Can Has Cheezburger. It’s one of my new favorite sites to peek in on occasionally.
