If you’re in Dupont (as well as Alexandria and Bethesda) and you have a pen Washingtonian reports that the BGR locations are offering free burgers if you write “BGR” anywhere on your body. Free regular and veggie burgers offered. Since this has been covered by lots of folks on the web and via twitter I suspect the lines are going to be insane. The Dupont location is located at 1514 Connecticut Ave, NW so if you’re in the area…
“Dear PoP,
I noticed a story in the WBJ from last Friday saying the Allegro (3460 14th St, NW) was going into foreclosure. As a resident I have not heard anything from our management (not surprisingly) and was hoping you could ask around to see what people have heard. Has this type of thing happened to other apartment buildings readers live in? Does it typically have any effect on the renters?”
I’ve received a lot of emails about this development. Folks have also been commenting about this development in previous posts. Since you are a resident I really don’t think you have to worry. The article said that the property will go to auction Nov. 18th. I imagine it will be purchased and you will not even know the difference. I suppose it is possible that the new owners may change marketing companies and possibly change some of the rents. However, I would think that you’ll be locked into the price on your lease (anyone know for sure?).
I’m also curious if anyone has experienced a similar situation or knows of anyone who has gone through something like this? Do you think it is safe to assume that the current resident will not really notice any difference?
This sign terrified me when I first saw it. I’m a huge fan of Good Wood located at 1428 U Street, NW. I went in the store on Saturday and the owner said that he wasn’t too worried. I asked if he was looking for a new space for Good Wood but he said it was way too early for that. Apparently, it is not uncommon for a building like this to go on sale but not find a buyer. Should the building actually sell, it is likely Good Wood will remain somewhere in the neighborhood. Hopefully they won’t have to move…
This building is located on S St., NW right next to the old Garden District and soon to be Crepes on the Corner, just east of 14th Street. It seems like the renovations have been going on for some time and is finally wrapping up. It looks great from the outside. I’ll be sure to keep a close eye on this one to see what goes in.
I had no idea it was going to look this great when I first saw it a couple of weeks ago. At the time we learned that the mural is part of Murals DC 2009. I particularly like the one of the woman holding a camera with the Washington Monument in the lens and of course the amazing sun to the left.
I thought this addition was super cool because of the windows. Notice that you can see the tree above the structure and through the window. It was really beautiful.
This sign put a huge smile on my face. Are they teaching British English at the Learning Center?
I’m digging this shot Rukasu1 uploaded to the PoPville Flickr pool.
This home located on Monroe Street, NW at the corner of Brown is one of my favorites in the city. It’s been getting a facelift and looks even better now.
There have been some false reports today that Senor Chicken has opened up on Park Road just west of 14th Street in Columbia Heights. On Sunday I saw some folks in the store but the doors were locked. While talking to them through the window they said they were not open but would be opening soon. I said, next week? They replied, soon. I walked by today at 1:30pm and the door was locked but there was soda in the fridge so they should be opening any day now.
