Turn left at Duke Ellington Ave/T St NW
You are out and about the city all of the time, any idea when that happened?”
I had heard that Duke Ellington lived on T Street at one point (the residence pictured above is from 13th Street). But I hadn’t known they renamed part of T Street after him until I read your email. So I did a bit of searching around and the great Washington Post writer, Marc Fisher, found the answer back in Oct. 2007. He writes:
“D.C. Council member Jim Graham is proposing to rename two streets in Shaw for Duke Ellington and Chuck Brown, creating the possibility that you could one day, as a prelude to a kiss, or if you just need some money, head over to the corner of Ellington Avenue and Chuck Brown Way. That would be at the current intersection of Seventh and T streets NW.”
Super cool.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
