This is, what looks like from the outside, a fantastic renovation up north on Georgia Ave.

We’ll find out in only two years, stay tuned…but man that would be sweet.

Well I always, er, often admit when I’m wrong. Apparently Rug Stores do go out of business. Who knew?

I’m begging you. Whoever you are who makes these decisions. You can’t do it.
Thanks to a reader for tipping me off to this article in the Examiner this morning:
“A Metro spokesman declined to elaborate on what services might be scuttled, but possibilities include fewer new railcars and buses, less security and safety training,
and ending extra Yellow Line service. “

We do love and ride the yellow line, right?

Washington Post catches on to third floor atrocities. Sadly, PoP doesn’t get a mention. Thanks to a reader for the tip.

My favorite quote from the owner (Cornish): “As for aesthetics, Cornish said the building, when it is complete, will be far superior to the dilapidated, vacant property he bought last year for $425,000. “To each his own,” he said of those who object to such additions. “If they don’t like it, they should have gone and bought it themselves.”

Well we have another revolution on our hands. As I passed this sign it reminded me of a great diatribe I heard from Bono at a U2 concert (recorded). So allow me my own diatribe inspired by Bono. (Ed note: when you read the following lines you have to do it with an Irish brogue.)
I’ve had enough of these unwashed Americans come up to me and talk about the resistance, the revolution on the Mall. And the glory of protesting for the revolution. They don’t talk about littering for the revolution. Where’s the glory in papering every lamp post you see in Washington DC. Where’s the glory in that? Where’s the glory in putting stickers up that can’t be peeled off? Where’s the glory in that? Where’s the glory in making city workers waste their time, painstakingly peeling these posters off of city property. Where’s the glory in that? Fahq the Revolution.

As you can see the outdoor patio area is open for drinking! You can see how happy these folks are. I’ll admit I wept at the mere sight of a beer on the picnic table. From what I hear the permit is renewed indefinitely. Great news since we have about another month or two of good outdoor drinking weather left.

This is a great Church on 13th Street no too far from Logan Circle. I love how sits right next to row houses. Speaking of churches, on Sunday I heard amazing music coming out of some of the churches. I would love to be able to go inside and listen. Unfortunately, I’m not particularly religious nor am I of the Christian persuasion. So, is it ridiculous to ask if I could attend a service to listen to the music? Or is that rude, almost like being a tourist? I’m conflicted. Thoughts?

I used to love walking by this shop in China Town. It reminded me of NYC China Town where you could spot fully birds and other animals hanging in the window. Alas it appears it has gone out of business. Oh well, I guess it is exciting that there will be a Marvelous Market in China Town…
