I gotta say, the city is doing a really good job putting in bike lanes this past year. Thanks to a reader for the heads up.

An outdoor lamp. That’s one of the ways you know you’ve made it in life.

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?
