The U Street neighborhood is about to welcome what looks like a super cool cafe. Collage Cafe is located right next to St. Ex on 14th and T. Anyone know when it opens?

Whew, finally made it back to our beloved Petworth. I have to tell you, I have just returned from a very beautiful part of the country. The air was fresh, the mountains tall and the rivers were rapid. So when I exited National airport and was hit with hot sticky, humid blasts of heat, I became a little sad. But it never fails, as soon as I drove past the Old Soldiers Home I couldn’t contain my joy. There is something very real about Petworth that makes me appreciate it even more every time I go on a trip. Just having a cold glass of water on my porch looking at and remembering all the familar sights made me super glad to be finally be home. So I don’t know what the hell John Denver was talking about those damn country roads, I’ll take Petworth city roads any day of the week.
When I was a youth in the 80s whenever I flew and the plane arrived at its destination there would be an outburst of applause that I always thought was a little goofy. At anyrate, I just realized no one ever breaks out in applause when planes land anymore. Remember? Right? What happened?

This large storefront is located on Taylor Street just east of Georgia. What makes this storefront notable is the three main windows. This looks like it can be a pretty big store. It has lots of documents on one window for all the necessary permits. But permits for what? What could this large store be?
PS, I’ll be posting an update from last Friday’s question of the week tomorrow so get ready for our quest to bring a chocolate shop, Java Green, bakery, garden store, hardware store and/or Dunkin Donuts to Petworth. Who knows, maybe one of these has already been selected for the above storefront.

This is an updated photo from that condo development in CH whose most notable feature was the awful front door. That front door looks like the entrance to a county jail. And I know from experience but that is a completely different story… Anyway, as you can see the condo is now up for auction. Not a very good sign. Well, maybe you can get a steal if you don’t mind the door.

Again, a sweet pic from Susan. I’m so mad I missed this. Did I steer you wrong? An 18 wheeler filled with speakers. Bloody brilliant!

Thanks to Susan for this awesome Pic from the Carribean festival.
Sorry I’ve been traveling/without Internet for a little while. Stay tuned for some new posts this evening…and email me directly if anyone has some good stories from the Carribean festival this past weekend. Thanks.
Man is this place clean. Here in Colorado they have trash cans for trash, trash cans for plastic and trash cans for compost. This is how they keep there surroundings so clean. It is second nature for people here to throw their trash out properly. I’m not saying we need all this in Petworth but it is nice to know that it is possible…

Today’s question is sparked by a comment left a couple of days ago. A commenter suggested that we get behind a particular store/company and lobby for them to come to Petworth. He mentioned that this has been done successfully on other blogs. Well, as I have a huge inferiority complex I will not let that challenge go unanswered. I will happily initiate the lobbying if there is even a remote consensus. So Friday question of the day is: What particular store are you dying to see come to Petworth? Do you think lobbying is an effective way to encourage them to come to Petworth? I will start the ball rolling. I vote for Dunkin Donuts. What is your vote?
