I still love how you guys came up with this name of the former Maggie Moos on U Street.

Dang, the photo came out a bit blurry but I think you can still get the flavor of it.

I thought this one was pretty cool because it’s pretty unusual to see a bay window in brick like this.

“Dear PoP,
There is an old store on the corner of Irving and Warder- you once featured it in your “Capturing Cool Signs” feature within the past year.
Anyways, after many evenings on our porch wishing that it would reopen, it looks like it is!
There has been renovation going on there for the past 3 weeks, 7 days a week. After work last Thursday I popped in to talk to the construction guys. They told me that it was in fact going to be a new store and it would be opening in 2 weeks!
I am super stoked about this and I know our friends in Park View will be as well.”
Great news for this section of Park View! And thanks to IntangibleArts for providing the great photos.

Recently opened, Social, located at 14th and Meridian will soon be offering brunch. I’m always happy to hear about more brunch options. They will be “opening from 11-3pm Sunday, Bloody Mary menu and bottomless Mimosa.”
Ah Bloody Mary menu and bottomless Mimosa. Sweet, sweet words…

This property is a former Horse’s Ass Award nominee. Thanks to a reader for sending the great news (albeit a bit skeptically…):
“This bears watching since it may be the currently dilapidated building featured as a Horse’s Ass award… I’ll believe it when I see it though! haha”

The reader writes:
“$2750/month w/ $100 monthly credit for on-time payment
$560,000 to purchase
or
Purchase Option — rent for year and apply entire years’ payment towards purchase price”
This is an interesting one since it is for sale or rent. How do the prices for those options sound? What are your thoughts on loft condos? A few more photos after the jump. (more…)

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?
