At first glance this may not look like a very inspiring selection. But two things warrant HoTD honors – first this home on Kenyon between 13th and 11th has been a shell for ages and I’m glad it’s finally getting fixed up. But secondly and perhaps more importantly there is bunting. You got to respect bunting during a renovation.
From an email:
“Run, Don’t Walk to the field at 11th and Kenyon to donate your used athletic shoes. Donations are accepted today between 5-7pm and will be used to help build new playgrounds.”
A reader sends in the unfortunate news:
“I just got home (2 am) to find the alley behind my house roped off with police tape and two cops standing at each end, and another half dozen cops under a mobile light at the intersection of the east-west and north south alleys in the 5300 block of 1st/2nd Sts. NW. I asked the cops at my end of the alley what had happened, and he said someone had been gunned down in the alley and was dead. He wouldn’t tell me anything more than that.”
“There was a zombie walk in dc today, and I flowed the zombie parade to the real world house. Several members of the real world cast came out and got turned into zombies. It was really fun to watch.”
Back in April I wrote about my continued love of Cleveland Park despite their retail woes. In March we learned it was going to get some of its groove back. But we were really ahead of the curve when we first discussed their retails woes last August.
Well, there are still some ups and downs in Cleveland Park. The 7-11 at Connecticut Ave and Porter has closed. But don’t lose all hope, a Walgreen’s is coming next door…
Saturday
“Chavez Prep is hosting a Community Open House at its new location in the newly-renovated and historic Bruce School at 770 Kenyon St (the intersection of Kenyon and Sherman). From 11 until 2, there will be free food, face-painting, games, and school tours. Many of the teachers and students will be there, and we would love to meet our new neighbors!”

The flier says:
“Short Sale – Professionally negotiated. Only one bank. Nice location. Great investment opportunity. Hurry up, won’t last long. Call owner before showing.”
More info and a few photos found here.
Wow, this is an interesting one. I like the location though it is a bit small. This may be the least expensive GDoN ever posted. $149,900 sound reasonable for this 2 bed/1 bath?
