Author: 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.

For K. Bonus points if someone can translate that sign above the guiness ad. This is the bodega across the street from the metro. It gets a demerit from me because the cashier is behind bullet proof glass which always makes me feel uncomfortable. But bonus points for Western Union service. Who knew?

Thanks everyone for your great comments and emails about PoP. Rest assured PoP is going to remain all Petworth all the time. However, I will also include interesting thoughts and encounters from my walkabouts. If I can reach them by foot then surely they will effect Petworth as well. But the consensus is clear. Petworth is king and will remain so on PoP.

To see why check out my post down below titled “A little too much information”. I swear I was serious. Then check out the comment.

Check out this ad on on craig’s list for housing to share in Petworth. I feel a little bad about this but why does one mention one’s appearance in a housing share ad? It just seems a bit odd to me. Female Prof. I get, but husky? What does husky have to do with anything?

F prof. and husky looking for roommate (prefer professional, 30s +) to
share half a spacious rowhouse. You would get your own bedroom and den
(partially furnished, if desired) and share kitchen, living room,
dining room, 1 1/2 baths, washer & dryer, yard, ample storage space.

Well, I am happy to note that Prince of Petworth has been up and running for 6 months. It has been great. It has gained a devoted following and often gets linked on the Washington Post Express, Wonkette and other sites. I owe its success to you the readers. We are mostly a respectful group and as you have seen we touch upon controversial issues from time to time without degrading into curses and hate. This is good and this is what seperates us from many other neighborhood sites. I read a lot of neighborhood sites and many of them are quite good but I can assure you that our community is among the best in the City. Nevertheless, I would like to make the site better so please take a few moments and let me know your thoughts.

Would you like to see more Real estate coverage?

More Political posts?

More crime/public safety posts?

More meet your neighbor posts?

More restaurant/bar/cafe reviews?

More/less photography?

More links to other local and DC news?

More of my own witty/inane observations?

Other types of posts?

Also, I am looking to expand coverage. I love Petworth and that will continue to be the major focus but I’d like to expand coverage to Columbia Heights, U Street, Logan Circle, and others. Would covering these nearby neighborhoods be of interest? Are there other neighborhoods you’d like to see covered.

Thanks very much for any advice you can give. Please post a comment or email me directly at [email protected]

For those who live in south Petworth, perhaps you have met this dog before. Now I realize this picture does the dog no justice but I was terrified, sprinting away from this 4 legged menace. Let me assure you this dog is pure muscle and he knows it. Now I know there are lot of dog enthusiasts who read this blog so I’ll tell you perhaps this is a nice dog but be careful walking on the sidewalk near his house. You can see the fence is all of 2 foot high and this dog lunges at if you are anywhere in a 50 foot radius of it. I was waiting for this moment which comes every Spring. The dog is let out in its yard and when you walk down Taylor St. near NH it let’s you know who’s boss. I fully concede he is the boss. I concede nearly twice a day from Spring until Winter but he refuses to accept my surrender. I can’t explain how terrifying it is. The dog lunges at the fence barks like crazy and every time I think: ok, so this is how I’m going to die, I’ve lived a good life, I guess I always wanted to travel to China and have children, well not in China but, I’m getting off track here. I hate this fricking dog!
