We have posted in the past about local artist Diabetik. This morning on my way to work I saw one of their candy-corn streetcones had migrated from the traffic island just north of Dupont Circle to the mezzanine level platform at the Dupont North metro entrance.  I’m assuming that this was not an installation by the artist, but rather the work of a WMATA employee that needed a streetcone to mark the manhole cover, but perhaps I’m wrong.  Either way, seeing this little guy at the bottom of the escalator made me smile and was a pleasant start to the day.
   
….though now I have a strange hunger for highly processed seasonal candy….

    Luckily for you, highly processed Easter candy is generally available at your local big box food source!
