I got a ton of emails about this market opening up on Tuesday. If you recall this was the space that was gutted by fire in August ’08. It looks amazing now.
This is one of the nicest bodegas in town, well worth the wait. It’s not gonna replace a grocery store but if you need a few items and live nearby, you should be very happy.

Sounds pretty cool. From an email:
Bluebrain presents ‘Cakeblood’ – A Boombox “Performance”
On Thursday, September 24th at 7:30 PM, Bluebrain 30-piece instrumental work ‘Cakeblood’, will occur on as many portable tape decks as are provided, via cassettes that will be freely distributed. The 35-minute piece will sound out of small speakers as the group assembled walks the streets of DC. Come with a boombox to Dupont Circle. And while it isn’t required, an RSVP is greatly appreciated: [email protected]”

This is a new one for me but I dig it:
“Dear PoP,
Smell isn’t always the primary sense one appreciates in a city, but it can be marvelous. There is a bush of these fragrant little fruits that you can smell from the path in Meridian Hill park, near the Serenity statue (the poor chipped-up marble lady on the west side of the upper park.) They smell like what you wished candy really smelled like, Juliet, or small flowers from a tenuous habitat. Light, sparkling, grapefruity & clovey. I’m pretty sure these are quince fruits, but still suffering ptsd from a childhood taste of green persimmon, I haven’t the nerve to taste.”
Are these quinces?

Crap, the photo came out blurry. But just beyond the creek there is a table and chairs. Absolutely ridiculous. In a very good way. This again is from the insane new neighborhood I found on Sunday – Normanstone-Woodland.

This is a pretty imposing one but I like it.

This house is so sick I thought it was a Church. Nope it’s a house. It’s one from the amazing Normanstone-Woodland neighborhood.

Ping Pong will be located at 900 7th Street, NW between H and I Streets. Looks like it’s going to be a pretty big space. Have folks found other good Dim Sum spots in the city?

Sorry for the admin question but as I’m making the coolest Pet in PoPville t-shirts I’m also re-ordering regular PoP t-shirts. So my question is – would you like a new design or should I stick with the v-neck style (pictured above from PoP t-shirts continue to travel the globe)? If I stick with the v-neck style should I stick with green or another color? Or just do a completely new design? If anyone has any design ideas, shoot me an email please.

It’s been a while since we’ve judged a building. Walking downtown I was stopped in my tracks. It is located at the corner of 6th and F Streets, NW. It opened Oct. 1st, 2007. There is a conversation with the architect, Jack Diamond, here. You can see some photos inside here. Thumbs up or down? Anyone see a play there?
