This one looks like it should be on a villa in France or Italy. More on this crazy neighborhood later.

This beauty is from Cleveland Park on Newark Street. I love the windows and the lines on this house. Plus the wrap around porch is pretty sick. Man, when my trust fund kicks in…

Back in June a reader asked what happened to the Ghana Cafe location on 18th Street in Adams Morgan. In late August we heard from WBJ that a Ray’s Hells Burger was going into the 18th St. location. It’s not clear whether that’s actually going to happen. Anyway in the comments we learned that Ghana Cafe was moving to 14th Street, NW. I don’t know about you but when I just read an address I have a tough time placing it. So I walked past the above photo and said, “ah, so this is where Ghana Cafe will be” and thought a photo would be useful. It’s actually a cool old building on 14th Street just south of Rhode Island Ave. and the 7 – 11 store at 1330 14th Street, NW. It’s look like there is still a bit of work to be done on the space but I’ll be sure to update when they open.

We’ve seen this sign close up from 1126 H Street, NE but I really like the perspective of this shot from rockcreek. The shoes up top make it all the sweeter.

I received an email about some work going on at Ollie’s Trolley located at 425 12th St, NW. It’s Web site says:
“Voted best in town for our famous seasoned burgers and fries with 26 herbs and spices including to die for shakes and soft serve ice cream.”
Sadly, it doesn’t say who voted… and it doesn’t mention a renovation. Anyway, are these among the best burgers and fries in town?
I know the below sign is new:

I thought this was a great shot from DG-rad of a vacant house in Anacostia on W St., SE.

I’m dying to hear what you think of these photos. They blew me away. Be sure to check out the living room photo. Does $699,000 sound reasonable for this 2 bed/2 bath?

You can talk about whatever is on your mind – quality of life issues, a beautiful tree you spotted, scuttlebutt, or any random questions/thoughts you may have. I’ll open this thread every Monday and Friday. So anything good happen to you this weekend?

Ojo Latino is a series by Néstor Sánchez Cordero. This week features a runway show from the H Street, NE Festival that took place on Saturday. Nestor was unable to get the names of the designers so if anyone went and recalls who they were please leave their names in the comments. Néstor says, “Images are around, the secret is to catch them at the right moment and with the right light…”
Four more beautiful shots after the jump. (more…)

We’ve touched on this issue a bit in the comment section of previous posts. But I’ve received a surprising number of emails asking why Columbia Heights doesn’t have a movie theater. And Sunday when I was walking downtown I passed the great E Street Cinema (just east of 11th Street, NW) and it made me think about it again. It seems that the E Street Cinema is wildly successful. So I hope I’m not being naive. I’m not saying that Columbia Heights should have a one screen independent theater. But why can’t Columbia Heights have a multi-screen independent theater modeled after the E Street Cinema? It seems like there is a real market out there.
I imagine the theater would attract folks from Adams Morgan, Mt. Pleasant, Shaw/U Street/Logan Circle, Columbia Heights of course, Park View, Petworth, Brightwood, Brookland, and even Woodley Park/Cleveland Park among other neighborhoods. Is that not enough people to support a movie theater? If you think Columbia Heights could support a movie theater, where could it realistically go? How many screens would be ideal? Could it support a theater that shows independent films like E Street or a more traditional theater like Chinatown/Gallery Place Regal Cinemas?
