A reader writes: “I’m actually looking for a restaurant recommendation. Here’s the situation… I want to take this young lady out on a very nice date. She’s the type of girl that’s interested in everything, loves to try new things, etc. So I was wondering if you could recommend any cool places, maybe off the beaten path, an intimate setting is of course very nice… even a place that has some live music and we could make a night out of could be pretty sweet.”
My response after the jump. But for the Friday Question of the Day – What are your favorite date spots in the area? (more…)

I’m seeing a few of these signs popping up around Columbia Heights just east of 11th Street. Yet prices still seem to be fairly high. So explain to me how we can be having auctions at the same time as prices remaining high.

Thanks to the many readers who sent me the link to this post. The article says construction is planned for “2009 with completion in the beginning of 2011“. An excerpt:
“GSC also plans 20,000 s.f. of retail on the first floor, doubling the 20,000 s.f. of existing retail in vintage buildings along U Street, which will be incorporated. According to Moore, “People are welcoming this change to the neighborhood. This is a strip that isn’t very attractive right now. We hope to bring an exciting new mixed-use building to the neighborhood, and provide much needed affordable rental apartments.”

But after looking at a few weather vanes, they are actually quite helpful in identifying which way the wind is blowing. Who knew? This weather vane has the added feature of the house number as well. Not sure why it has the house number. Or wait, is that just the year the house was built?

Now, I’ve gone on the record complaining about grassless front yards but this one kind of stops me in my tracks. I become transfixed with that little pond/reflecting pool. What do you think of this front yard?
