Parking Garage Zambonis

The Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, is a great venue for plays, concerts, and so on. It also has a nice parking garage right underneath, which is very convenient (considering that the Center is not really close to any Metro station, and Metro isn’t exactly worth the gamble right now anyway) . . . although, like most parking in Washington, it’s exorbitantly over-priced.

Regardless, in the Kennedy Center garage last week we spied these Parking Garage Zambonis. Of course, they aren’t really Zambonis—they’re some sort of garage cleaning rig—but for an ice hockey fan like myself the resemblance was obvious.

I find these kinds of things very funny. Maybe I’m weird.
