This building is located at 1125 11th Street, NW. I dig the balconies. What do you think – thumbs up or down?

“Dear PoP,
I just noticed yesterday there’s a new place, Chinatown Coffeehouse, opened up on H right, NW near the corner of 5th.”
Always happy to hear about more coffee news! I stopped by this weekend and it’s a very comfortable place with a nice vibe going on. A good study/work spot too if you are in the area.

J.Con inquired about an incident on 5th Street last night around 11:30. I received the following response from MPD Commander Linda Brown (Via Council Member Bowser’s Office):
“Good morning. We did receive calls for the sounds of gunshots in the 4500-4600 blocks of 5th Street. Officers responded to the scene and shell casings were recovered. Also, one address in the 4600 block of 5th sustained bullet fragments inside the residence.”

Another great shot from Chinatown by Bogotron.

This home is located at 1743 11th Street, NW:
The flier says:
“This may be the one you have been waiting for. .. 2006 renovation w/ open floor plan, exposed brick, crown molding, recessed lighting, custom built-ins, modern kitchen w/ granite and stainless appliances, rear deck for outdoor entertaining, two blocks to Metro, near new dog park, easy street pkg.”
More info found here and a virtual tour found here.
I think this house looks great though I was wondering why it was on the market for so long. (I think it got relisted because redfin said it’s only been listed for 14 days but I’m pretty sure that’s not right.) Well, it’s now under contract but I’m wondering if you dig the house and if you think $599,900 was a good deal for this 2bed 2.5 bath?
And because there were no photos I thought I’d include this house located at 82 V Street, NW as well:
The flier says:
“Your wait is over. .. This is what you want in LeDroit Park A big townhouse lot of bath rooms. .. .Everything works as it should. Call listing agt. Showing by appt.”
More info found here.
I could’ve sworn this was Bloomingdale and not Le Droit. Which do you think is a more desirable neighborhood Bloomingdale or LeDroit Park? This home is on the market for $524,995. Considering there are no photos it probably needs some work. Does this price sound reasonable? I love the homes of Bloomingdale but have the prices really gone that high?

Panache is located at 1725 DeSales Street, NW. Here’s another spot I’ve been curious about for a while. I used to work near here and often walked by. You can see their menu here. Any fans out there?

“Dear PoP,
My name is Yvette and I work at LEDC ( Latino Economic Development Corporation). We are offering $500 grants to businesses that have potential but need some graphic design/marketing/other consulting services (the vendor of their choice).”
I suggested the great El Limeno restaurant located on the 200 block of Upshur across from the Hitching Post. What do you guys think – know of any worthy local businesses that could use some graphic design/marketing services? Put your suggestions in the comments section and Yvette will check back at the end of the week.
They previously awarded a grant to Jam Down the new Jamaican restaurant, located at 3303 Georgia Ave., we spoke about last week.

But then I searched the Social Security Website, by the by who knew the Social Security Web site has a list of most popular baby names.
Anyway Adrian was the 56th most popular baby name in 2008. For the curious, the most popular male name was Jacob and the most popular female name was Emma. Gotta love the Internet.

Back in October ’08 I suggested you check out a photography exhibit at National Geographic. I’m sure there have been lots of great exhibits in the interim but I just checked out the Kodachrome “American Tourist in Europe” photography exhibit. And it was equally awesome. Lots of great shots from the 50s and 60s. Well worth checking out! The National Geographic Society is located at 1600 M Street, NW (but you sorta have to walk through a courtyard to get to the exhibit).
There were also some new sculptures that I hadn’t seen before.
More photos after the jump. (more…)
