A sign in front of a new Potbelly Sandwich Works location moving into the space at 1635 Connecticut Ave. I'm happy to see something moving in there; the space has been vacant since at least the time I moved to D.C. over a year ago.

This sign struck me as protesting a bit too much. While Potbelly may not be a "big chain" by chain restaurant standards it's big enough to afford a flashy banner proclaiming that fact. PSW appears to be privately owned and currently has 55 locations, with another eight "in the works." But whatever; I have to give them props for the anti-corporate sentiment, even if it is just a marketing ploy. I'm sure I'll be eating there sometime after the place opens. That's supposed to happen later this month, although it looks a long way from ready right now. We'll see.
