I saw the aftermath at around 6pm this evening but apparently an MPD vehicle got into a collision with a civilian vehicle. The civilian vehicle was completely destroyed. I heard second hand that an ambulance took people away. I’m not sure if the officer or the civilian were taken to the hospital but it was apparently pretty serious. Hopefully they will be alright. More details as they become available.

Odentex, Christina, Bogfrog, Kelly, Project KB, Columbia Heights Chic, Pauper, Lazy Cake, Kelly, Susan, and Reuben. I’m sorry for the folks who I left off. Despite my claim, this was a very unscientific method. For those who didn’t win you’ll be able to purchase a shirt for $10 at the launch party to be announced soon. For those who did win, you’ll have to email me directly at [email protected] so I can confirm you are who you say you are at the party. Stay tuned for party details which should be finalized in the next week or two.

So there is a great space available to purchase just north of Wonderland on 11th St. So what do you think it is going for? What type of business would fit in nicely here? How much would you have to sink in to renovate and make it respectable? I really think 11th Street is a phenomenal block. I’d love to be able to put in a book store but damn, how many books would you have to sell to make it profitable?

Friday’s question of the day is honor of Columbia Heights Chic who got me thinking. What would you do if a homeless person set up camp on your stoop or your condo’s stoop? Do you just call the cops? Do you confront the homeless person? It is a very sad situation for which I blame Ronald Reagan, but what can you do about it? I haven’t seen many homeless people in Petworth or Columbia Heights. Have you? What would you do if there was a homeless person setting up camp on your block or condo?

This house is ridiculously awesome on Park Road right east of Red Rocks. It is huge. Apparently it was asking almost $1.4 mil on the sign out front but that was whited out. So what is it going for now? Do you think this mansion can go that high? I think it is absolutely badass and if I ever hit the power ball I may but a serious bid on it.

So have you walked by the New Hampshire House located on the 3500 block of NH? In almost every window facing the street it looks like they are under contract. The sign advertises Luxury condos with parking in the Mid-200s. Is that a good deal? Has anyone checked out these condos? What’s the verdict?

So it has finally occurred to me how to solve our garbage woes. People seem to feel very comfortable throwing their garbage in tree boxes. (A guy in Shaw even has a whole blog about it.) So the solution is easy. Why don’t we just paint tree box scenes on the garbage cans? At the very least I think it would be a fascinating social experiment. Pretty clever huh?

How is possible to live right in the middle of the city and sit outside on your porch and listen to the crickets? How is that possible? To make things even better, a neighbor across the street came out to sit on his porch and listen to the baseball game on his radio. I swear sometimes I feel like I can understand people reminiscing about the 50s. Sitting on the porch, drinking a beer, listening to a baseball game and with the crickets chirping in the background. And there aren’t even any mosquitoes tonight!
