Many of you have probably walked by this home on New Hampshire Avenue near the metro. It had the dreaded vinyl all across the front and is now being replaced with brick. It looks like it is going to be pretty sweet.
Wait a second. My house is entirely ensconced in vinyl. And it is beautiful. Until I win the lottery and can afford nice cedar shingles I’m stuck with vinyl. Vinyl requires very little little upkeep and won’t give you cancer like asbestos shingles. So don’t hate too much.
Let me share a little secret with you all. I’ve heard of this great new Web site. It is called Craig’s List. You can put whatever you want to sell on the site for free! Amazing. It is a virtual world now. You don’t have to bother with scotch tape or printings or anything like that at all. And don’t give me the whole not everyone has a computer song. Everyone has computers! And if you are 80 and don’t have a computer you don’t need a weight bench. Everyone has a computer either at work, or home, or at their local library. Although, I am still looking for a place to unload my unwanted car for $50 cash. Help me please.
I dig it. You?
I found this garden behind a pretty rough looking school on 13th St. The school has grates or bars over all window and looks pretty imposing. But if you walk around the back you see a bit of humanity in this garden. It must be fun for the students to maintain.
I can’t believe I haven’t seen anything written up about this entire new construction of Row Houses built behind the Tivoli Theater on Monroe Street. Every time I walk by them, I fall asleep they are so boring. I’m not saying I need Frank Gehry but these are pretty plain. No interesting architectural detail at all. So I ask you am I wrong, am I wrong? And for the record I’m calmer than you dude.
That is some nice landscaping no?
Has anyone checked out this joint yet located on 14th Street right near Mayorga? It looks pretty good from the outside. I’m excited to check it out. So, what’s the word, thumbs up or thumbs down?
Male #1: “Give me a good word for that breakfast.”
Male #2: “Volumptious”
Male #1: “Volumptious? Yeah that is a good word for it!”
Personally, I felt that was the perfect word for my meal as well.

It is my pleasure to introduce a new video feature on PoP. These videos will feature life around Petworth, Columbia Heights, and the 14th Street Corridor. This feature is the brain child of Petworth resident, Joe Mills. This week’s video features Grant Circle and the running time is about 1 minute and 20 seconds. Please comment to let us know if you would like to see more of these videos.
If you have any ideas or would like to contribute to PoP in any way don’t hesitate to contact me at [email protected]. And remember, I’m still looking for an intern!
Oh yeah, and since I’m asking for things, if anyone lives in a rowhouse with one of those tiled vestibules I’d love to get a photo of that. Many thanks and enjoy the video.
