And this week we get a bit of background from WIkipedia:
“In 1989, Guru Josh released “Infinity,” also known as “Infinity (1990s… Time for the Guru),” from the album of the same name. The song achieved widespread success in Europe, especially in Germany, the UK, Portugal and Austria. The song was later re-mixed and re-released on multiple occasions (the most popular remix by Klaas), still receiving particular success in 2011.”

It’s been a while since we’ve looked at the “window house” from Truxton Circle. This is one of my all time favorites.

Thrillist shares the word that the former Saki located at 2477 18th St, NW is reopening tonight at District Underground. District’s Web site (warning super loud music plays) says:
“District is Washington DC’s newest addition to nightlife. With the space and design unlike any other venue in DC, District allows its clientele to experience the coziness of an upscale lounge with the space of a nightclub. District features 7,200 SF of space on two levels, a 60 foot wrap around bar, outdoor deck, large private table areas, the most spacious VIP table areas in the city, and state of the art lighting & sound systems. Our infusions bar featuresinnovative cocktails, house-made infused cocktails, and sodas, including our signature habanero infused tequila or home made “grand marnier”. And, our full-scale kitchen is open late, offering a menu of contemporary surf and turf fare and desert, a perfect complement to any party. District will be defined by unparalleled customer service and a celebration experience like no other.”
I just noticed they placed a rendering on site at the future “11th Street Living Facility” located at the corner of 11th and Harvard St, NW. Last we spoke about this property – CM Graham wondered why it was being torn down.
“Dear PoPville,
Just wanted to let you know that my street (Gales St. NE, one block south of H St. @ Starburst) is police taped off due to an armed person. I asked the cop nearby who told me I could go in my house, but not to go farther because of an armed person on the loose. Only Gales between 15&16 seemed to be taped off, so I’m not sure if he is on the block or what. I ran inside, locked all my doors, got into the basement, etc. but I just wanted to give a heads up to others in the area.”
From a reader:
“
If you have any fun or interesting animal/pet photos please shoot me an email to princeofpetworth(at)gmail(dot)com with ‘Animal Fix’ in the title and say what neighborhood you’re from or upload to the PoPville flickr pool with your pets name and neighborhood. I can’t guarantee I’ll get them all posted but I’ll do my best.

This rental is located at 11th and U St, NW:
The Craigslist ad says:

Large bathroom – double sink, stackable washer dryer, large shared brick patio with the owner (I own and live on top 2 levels). I completely renovated it when I bought the house a few yrs ago.

$2,395 + utilities sound right for this english basement?
In early Aug. we spoke about a higher floor 2 bedroom going for $2300 at 11th and U St, NW.
