The Washington Post reports that there is a debate going on in H Street about what actually constitutes a fast food restaurant. Very interesting stuff. We’ve had our only little debate about Fast Food right over at PoP. Interesting to note that city has a flexible defintion of a fast food restaurant. H St, NE and Petworth are facing some similiar development issues so I thought it may be of interest.

Is it ok to park your car in your backyard if you don’t have a driveway? I.E. is it ok to park your car on the grass in your backyard? Personally, I don’t see why it is necessary here in Petworth because there is so much street parking. What do you guys think?

So last night I went out looking for good Petworthians to profile because I hadn’t done a profile in a while. So I saw this nice couple at Temperance Hall. I asked them if they were familiar with PoP. And to my surprise the women said “yes, you are the one who carries a gun in his pocket.” I was shocked because she was referencing a really old post when the only people who read this blog were my mother and some crazy guy. For the record, I do not carry a gun. She got that idea from this post. Anyway, I assured her that I didn’t carry a gun. So I asked if I could do a profile of them but they declined saying they were shy. However, an interesting thing they did tell me was that they were both defense attorneys. Unfortunately, the woman left me with these parting words about my post “we wouldn’t defend you.”

Petworth News has just done a phenomenal job of covering the last Georgia Ave. ‘Great Streets’ meeting. He has done a really thorough overview. You can read the full article here. I am most excited about:

“I learned just yesterday that neighborhood developer LaKritz Adler has succeeded – after what was apparently a grueling process – in getting the Murrell Building under contract. They are planning a renovation of the building to be completed later this year. Robb LaKritz says their plans are to open a new, vibrant neighborhood business on the ground floor consistent with the renderings and sketches being proposed by the Great Streets plan.”

A friend sent me this link to get a refund on energy saving appliances. Pretty cool. Maybe I can finally get that new washer/dryer I’ve been pining for…

Every since the weather warmed up there has been a ton of bike riders out and about in Petworth. This is probably the best bicycle I’ve seen, a super sweet basket, no?
