These remind me of my Summers in Portugal.

After accepting the fact that I am a hypocrite I thought I’d embrace “cool” city posters. You know you see these posters on light poles, news boxes, etc. I like this one for a show at the Blackcat this coming Sunday.

This is another amazing non traditional rowhouse. This beaut if from Mt. Pleasant.

Yikes, I’m a little late on this one. But thanks to Marco for alerting me to the news. DC Mud reported last Wed. “Metro Properties Inc. has just announced that the Allegro Condominiums, their 297 unit project at 3460 14th street in Columbia Heights, has joined the tide of condo conversions and is now destined to become an apartment building.”
So it begs the question: Do you think the condos being built over the Petworth metro will remain condos or go rental too? I think even if there is a conversion to rental it will be good for the neighborhood as there will still be lots of folks moving in to patronize the existing and soon to be establishments. How do you guys interpret the news for Columbia Heights, Petworth and the general trend?
And of course Happy President’s Day!

Big props to Nani’s for replacing their temporary sign with this nice proper one. Be sure to check them out if you live in the Park View Neighborhood. They are located at Sherman and Harvard and make a mean cappuccino…

If you somehow manage to breach the bars these mailboxes are completely encased and protected by reinforced brick. I guess it is Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition time…

Another beaut from 16th Street Heights. Nice wrap around porch and the shutters definitely work here.

While I like the door, be sure to check out the sculpture around it. Pretty sweet for a new construction, yeah?
