Head on down to 11th and Q St., NW where this is a damn nice skate park.

What the hell is zone 4C? Incidentally, Let me ask you: Should I sell my car? I never use it really. I’ll use it to buy groceries once every three months and occasionally go golfing but other than that I don’t really use it. Should I just use Zip car? I remember we spoke about the spots outside Domku a while ago. But I forget, can anyone vouch for Zip car?

Have you noticed that we have a lot of bitchin’ houses on and around the green line?

Anyone walk to the Fort Totten Metro stop? Is cutting through the park at Gallatin St. safe?
Anyone interested in renting a parking space in Columbia Heights?
Anyone know a contractor who can fix gutters?
Can anyone recommend an architect to design a floor plan?
Would anyone like to volunteer to teach an ESL class at the Petworth library? (Scroll to the bottom of thread if interested.)
Anyone have Sirius Radio? What FM frequency do use?

And Columbia Heights, U Street, and all the other neighborhoods on the green/yellow line. So someone suggested I have a new contest. This one won’t win you a Wilco ticket but you’ll get bragging rights. Email me photos of your dogs, cats, fish, cows or any other pets you think can win the crown of coolest in town. This first entry is of Baker submitted from Columbia Heights.

Palace Five located at 2216 14th Street just south of Florida is an unbelievably cool shop. And I don’t even skateboard. In 1986 I did have a sweet Kamikaze board but the greatest trick I ever learned was being able to turn. But fear not if you have no skateboarding skills you can still get some pretty fresh gear. And I don’t think it would be posing if you got a nice pair kicks that they offer at the shop. In addition to boards and sneakers, Palace Five also has a nice selection of clothing including t shirts. Palace Five’s designers come from all over including Los Angeles, New York, and London. And of course there are local designers as well. I saw some cool t shirts by local designer, DURKL. Open since July, Palace Five also sponsors many skateboarding events. The most recent one was in South East and was cosponsored by DGK. I was having a bit of trouble accessing their Web site at www.palace5ive.com. But when it is up and running you can sign up for their email list and be notified of future events as well as check out near gear coming soon to the store. Check out some more photos after the jump. There is a pretty impressive mural behind the cashier. (more…)

These seem like these will be pretty badass. Two condos in one row house, nice. How do you think the house is divided into two condos? Does one get the basement and the first floor and the other the top two floors? I’m really stumped, I think I’ll just have to go inside and check it out.

I know we have seen these horses before but I am incapable of passing these horses without taking a picture. This was taken Saturday on 14th Street near Girard. I just can’t get used to seeing horses in Columbia Heights. But I think it is awesome. I saw many kids going up to pet the horses. I think they make a nice bridge between the community and MPD.

The two things that I wish my house had were some sweet stained glass numbers and a nice vestibule with that fresh tiling that goes half way up. I’m still looking for vestibule pictures, if you have one hook a PoP up! Please.

And perhaps the most unusual door decoration I’ve ever encountered. A cow. That is just wild. I don’t think it can get any weirder than this. Maybe a whale would be weirder?
