I like how this condo kept the original “Enby and Saxon Service Station” writing intact. That building was a real service station at one time, yeah?


I dig this little walkway. I imagine it leads to a sweet courtyard where folks are drinking wine, arguing with each other in Italian, eating a huge midday meal while an ancient grandmother sits off in a corner with a bemused look on her face.


Do you think this house was ever one residence? The split colors crack me up. I think I prefer the yellow…


But it’s still not clear how he is able to fix the car while in an impressive feat of strength he holds the car over his head.


I love Olson’s book stores. It is great to browse their sales books, usually you can find great deals on interesting books both fiction and non fiction. I was a bit surprised to see this offering, though. I feel like this is a book you’d find at a of library book sales or something like that…


And the winner is…First Time Computers! Believe it or not there was some manipulation in the voting process. I can’t believe people were trying to “stuff” the ballot box for a charity contest. Anyway, I think all the charities were worthy so obviously if you don’t want to contribute to First Time Computers please donate to the charity of your choice. But if you would like to donate to First Time Computers please send me an email with the amount you have donated so, as promised, I can match it up to $500.

I think it is time we finally have a comprehensive discussion a most serious topic. Take out options. We have briefly discussed the issue in the Forum Section but most of the options have been pizza delivery. Now, I love pizza but we need to put together a more comprehensive list. Everyone loves and relies on take out from time to time but very few know who deliver to our various neighborhoods. Since we have regular readers from Petworth, Columbia Heights, U St., Mt. Pleasant and elsewhere when you leave your suggestion please say what neighborhood they deliver to (and if possible a phone number). So the Friday Question of the Day is: What are your favorite take out delivery options?
