Here’s a beauty from 16th Street just north of Park Road.

The Peruvian Chicken & Steak spot located on Park Road just west of 14th Street, NW looks very close to opening. I peeked in the window last weekend and it looks like it could be ready to roll any day now:
I’m eager to check out the Peruvian steak, I’ve had Peruvian chicken before which I think is delicious so I’m super intrigued by the idea of Peruvian steak. Has anyone had Peruvian style steak before? What exactly makes it Peruvian, the seasoning?

I’m not sure if I’ve featured it before but I saw it again this past weekend and was shocked all over again. It is an addition to the Women’s National Democratic Club (the addition sits on Q Street near Dupont Circle). It looks like some sort of bunker. Was this a proper style back in the day? Does anyone dig it?

“Rosiecat scorns dogs in slickers!”
“Meet Mattie. She’s the coolest condo size rottie! She’s three and half and full grown at 65 lbs. Mattie is sweet, gentle, and all-around lovable. When she gets excited, she wiggles so much that sometimes she almost falls down. Its adorable! Why do rotties get such a bad rap??”
“We told these two that people wanted an Arby’s in Columbia Heights and this was their reaction. Amusement or horror? You decide. These two brothers are 3 year-old tabbies adopted from the Washington Humane Society on Georgia Avenue.”
Ed. Note: Submissions have been closed. No more entries will be accepted at this point. Sorry for the confusion yesterday – all pets received before the deadline will be posted, of course. No NEW submissions will be accepted.
The cats are not competing against the dogs. There will be 5 dog, cat and “other” finalists that will each compete in their own category. We’ll have a poll in each category to select the winner. Using the comments section for these posts will help me select the 5 finalists for each category. You can see all the entries here. Please see after the jump for more entries. (more…)

I love this shot from M.V. Jantzen titled, “Figuring It Out”. Jantzen describes the scene:
“One of the new multi-space meters on 7th St NW, between the Smithsonian Reynolds Center and the Verizon Center. A few groups converged to get tickets at the same time, each one taking a while to figure out how the machines work.”

This home is located at 2812 13th Street, NW:
The flier says:
“Row House with large 3bedroom 2 bath 3 floor owners unit with industrial 10 burner stove and 2 decks. Plus a large first floor rental unit that was recently updated. Large unfinished basement with lots of storage runs length of the house. Each unit is separately metered with separate laundry for each. New development and metro around the corner on 14th GREAT LOCATION”
More info and photos found here.
This is one of those houses that I often walk by and admire. I think the home itself is pretty killer. My only hesitation is that it sits right next to some sort of community center. Not that I have anything against community centers, actually I’d have the same hesitation if sat next to a school as well. Not that I have anything against schools… But seriously, the home is pretty sweet – do you think $789,000 is realistic?

Bread & Brew is located at 1247 20th St, NW. I think this spot used to house a Greek restaurant, right? I’m hearing that this is a great place. I’d never even heard of it before. How long has it been there? Anyone check it out? You can see the menu here. Any particular specialties that are a must order?

“Dear PoP
You’ve posted on local hardware stores in general and Pfeiffer’s Hardware in Mt Pleasant in particular. So I thought you might be interested in this below (from the Mt Pleasant Forum).
I shop there all the time – a world apart from the hell that is Home Depot. I hope others will show their support and spend their money at Pfeiffers (and other local businesses).
Dear Mt. Pleasant Friends and Neighbors,
Times are tight for all of us, and I wanted to let you know how Pfeiffer’s is coping.
First, we are doing everything we can to give you good reason to buy from us. We have been doing that since we opened, but we have redoubled our efforts of late. Our new manager, William Hester, has been a phenomenal help and has so much more experience managing people and stuff than I ever had. Please feel free to stop by and introduce yourself at your leisure.
Our new assistant manager, Kyla Dickson, who was promoted from clerk, has also been tremendously helpful with her instinctive ability to get things done and to manage inventory. And then there are the usual suspects: John, Josh, Richard, Roberto, Rodney and Wing. All are there to help you find what you need, or to give you their opinion on the health care debate. Our previous manager Megan Crowley, left at the end of June to pursue her dream of opening her antique tavern in West Virginia.
I am also writing to ask for your continued support. The economy is hurting most of us, I’m sure, but the fact is, without an increase in sales, our store may become yet another empty storefront on Mt. Pleasant Street. No one wants that. So, if you need a widget or a doohickey, please remember us and the value of convenience and connection and helpfulness and friendliness that we bring to your shopping at our store.
Many other businesses on Mt. Pleasant Street are struggling. If you don’t want to see them close their doors, please remember to shop locally when you can.
Thank you for your support in the past and whatever support you can afford in the future.
I will be at the store this Sunday through Wednesday and will be available for conversation at Marx Cafe in the evenings from at least 4-6pm Sunday through Tuesday. If any of you would like to chat about the store, our current situation, suggestions, possible contractors to woo, or just to chat about all things Mount Pleasant or the Pfeiffer clan, please stop by. If you would rather meet one on one, please email me at [email address removed – log in to view].
In my next posting, I will give you an update on the possible sale of the store, some new policies, our new items, and the restructuring of our rental department.
Hugs and Hardware,
Old Man Pfeiffer”
Tina visited this great hardware store back in June of 2008. And last March I wondered if local hardware stores are doomed? It saddens me to hear about Pfeiffer’s tough times. They truly are a gem in Mt. Pleasant.

Thanks again to DC realtor Kevin Wood for compiling this list of home/condo sales for zip codes – 20011, 20010, 20009, 20005, 20003, 20002, and 20001. Click below on “July Home/condo sales” for the full list in pdf format. Because the zipcodes have grown next month Kevin will reorganize the format of the pdf.
