Don’t tell me coffee is temporary. I want my coffee to relax and listen to the birds chirp. Don’t make me think about achieving something on a Sunday morning when all I’m trying to do is get rid of my hangover. For the love of all that’s holy…

Background
I sat down with Heather, yesterday, at the great Mayorga Cafe in Columbia Heights to discuss her recent experiences purchasing and renovating a row house. Fans of DCist will surely recognize the name Heather Goss. Goss, 28, is the prolific contributor and Managing and Arts Editor for DCist. Originally from southern California, Goss first came to DC in 2002 to attend law school and is currently practicing law in addition to her DCist duties.
The Hunt
At first Heather was doubtful that she could afford to purchase a home in DC. But last Summer, on a lark, she attended a neighbor’s open house and met a very friendly lender. The lender explained the home buying process and Heather then realized she actually could afford a home in the District. Having previously lived in the U Street neighborhood, Heather knew she wanted to stay in that general area, so her search focused on U Street, Shaw, Columbia Heights and Petworth. Remarkably, she found the home she would ultimately purchase on only her second day of looking. It is interesting to note, as an indication of just how much the housing market has changed, Heather looked at 20 to 30 more houses/condos before finally putting in an offer two months after initially looking at the house.

Red Derby around 7 pm. It’s a pretty small bar so everyone should be able to meet up without any problems. If you can’t find me, I’ll be the drunk guy singing Drive By Truckers songs at the top of my lungs.
But notice that there is only one. Do you think they keep it because it looks so cool or for safety? How come the window right next to it doesn’t have one? This is the first floor I’d imagine it would be just as easy to crash through that one if someone was determined. At any rate this is one of the nicer bars I’ve seen around town.

Dang, coming this October. C’mon! You can’t mess with people like this. I can already taste that delicious saltena with its olives, egg and chickeny goodness. We have to do something about this. Let’s all pray. I’m serious.

Please do not toilet your dog here? Toilet your dog…what is that a German expression? I guess it does have a nice ring to it. I still way prefer this sign.
