sung to the tune of Paint It Black by the Rolling Stones of course. Well, you can see the development at Upshur and NH remains, well remains uh interesting. They have decided to paint the brick yellow although maybe that is just a primer. But I thought for sure there was still brick work yet to be completed. I’m dying to see how this thing turns out.


When ordering a bowl of tomato soup make sure it is indeed tomato soup and not a bowl of marinara before consuming.


A reader sparked my interest on this one. Does anyone ride the bus? I’ve always been a devoted metro rider but now that there is new express bus service on Georgia Ave. I find the idea intriguing. So tell me, do you ride the bus? Is it faster than metro? Do people stare at you and smell badly? Rumors I have heard. So tell me the truth, please.


The poor people at habitat for humanity have to put up with so much. They were one of the few businesses to move to Upshur St. and they are continually rewarded with grafitti. Insert a very long string of explicatives here. Let’s hope they catch this thug soon.

Incidentally, not using curse words is pretty funny because I curse all the time in real life. Yet I seem to have taken on a more polite blog personality. How bizarre.


Have you decided who you are going to vote for in the special election? You don’t have to tell me for whom, I’m just interested if people have made up their minds yet. I know I haven’t. Part 2: Have you been influenced by the Post’s endorsement or any other endorsements for that matter?


Well, which is it? I certainly have noticed a lot more for rent signs since the market has softened. I think one of things that makes Petworth great is that so many of the homes are owner occupied and that people take pride in where they live. I’m sure there are some very good home renters out there but I have to admit all the for rent signs make me a bit nervous.


For those of you who get the Post’s print edition, check out the District Extra section. On page 20 they swap Muriel and Renee Bowser’s pictures. So the picture of Muriel is Renee and vice versa. I don’t know how that will effect the election but damn that is a pretty horrible error. I wonder if they really meant to endorse Renee on Sunday but mixed that up too?


Great photo of the playground construction on Taylor St. from Susan. Obviously it is a few weeks old but do you think it will be ready by Summer?



Good takeout option, originally uploaded by Prince of Petworth.

For Christina: My girlfriend loves Dannie’s takeout. Granted she loves takeout chinese food more than anyone I’ve ever met, but I can vouch for it too. Good garlic chicken. Anyone have other favorite delivery places? More to come…but in the meantime you can check out the list on Petworth DC here. Just scroll down to the bottom and you’ll see a list of delivery places.
