I imagine a family of Amish folks live here. I don’t know why. Oh yeah, now I remember why, I just finished my second glass of Powers…


Ridiculous. Just perfect in every way. Although, I bet they need new wiring. Yeah, they definitely need new wiring and maybe new plumbing too, there now I don’t feel so bad. Crap, that’s my house that needs new wiring and plumbing. Sigh.


I just noticed the old Common Share space on 18th Street has a new sign – The Blaguard. Anyone know when it is supposed to open? Think they’ll still have $2 pints?


I’ve always loved this row of rowhouses in Adams Morgan. It still makes me wonder if the owners coordinated on the colors.


It is one of my all time favorites. You know, it’s the one about World War II in Shanghai with John Malkovich and a young Christian Bale. Anyway there is one scene when they are in an internment camp and Christian Bale’s character visits the infirmary. At the infirmary he realizes that they put a mosquito netting around a patient, not to keep out mosquitos, but to signify when a patient is about to die. The mosquito netting has no practical function other than a psychological one.

That is what these police flood lights remind me of. A reader wrote in today to tell me about a murder in an alley near Princeton St. as reported by NBC news. And lo and behold tonight there was a big spot light up. Now what is the purpose here, the guy has already been killed. I know with some gang violence the spotlights aim to deter revenge attacks. Maybe that is why they used it here. But still does this light make anyone feel better and/or safer? All I could see was a giant mosquito netting.


Well, Church Street has turned out to be a pretty cool street. How come nobody told me earlier? Eco-Green living is located at 1469 Church Street. The store offers, you guessed it, eco-green living options. You can get organic coffee, organic clothes, eco-countertops, bamboo floors, eco-insulation, some pretty nice eco-toilets and lots more. Check out more photos after the jump. (more…)


When Marvin first opened I’d say in general people loved it. Recently I’ve been starting to hear from some folks that it is too crowded and/or has lost some of its initial shine. So now that it has been open a few months has your opinion changed at all?
