I’m not sure if this is a carriage house or garage but it’s this first one I’ve seen with a dormer. Nice stonework too…

Fantastic stained glass and framing.

I really liked the section up top, haven’t seen any like this on a rowhouse before.

This new construction is located at the corner of Georgia (just before it becomes 7th and newly christened Chuck Brown Way) and Florida Ave.
I’m not sure what’s going in but there’s seems to be a lot of space for some ground floor retail, I’ll keep my eye on this spot.
And in very late reporting, I just noticed the sign saying Cafe 1612 closed in early August. Cafe 1612 was located below the results Gym on U Street. I never actually ate there. Were there any fans? Any scuttlebutt on what may go into the space?

“Dear PoP,
Out walking my dogs yesterday morning, I found a little dog (a Bichon Frise) wandering the neighborhood without a collar or tags. We brought him home, reported finding him to the Humane Society, posted notice on neighborhood lists, and have walked extensively around the neighborhood with him looking for the owner or anybody who recognizes the dog, with no luck.”
If this is your dog please leave your email in the comments or contact me directly. Thanks.

A reader sent in this sign a while ago but I had the opportunity to run across it myself last weekend. It is so amazing I had to re-post for those that missed it. I’d also like to add, from the files of you can’t judge a book by its cover, there were a bunch of “tough” looking fellows sitting out front but when I walked over to take the photo they were unbelievably nice and friendly to me.
But bottom line is that this sign may very well be tops in the city.

“Dear PoP,
My girlfriend and I are looking to set up a bank account. We both currently use Bank of America for our individual accounts but we’d like to consider other options. I was wondering if you or your readers have any suggestions or warnings for banks in the DC area.”
I have used Chevy Chase bank (which I think was bought by Bank of America) but I’m still upset that there are no Chevy Chase ATMs at the U Street or Petworth metros. Otherwise Chevy Chase has been pretty good. Do you guys have any good bank recommendations?

This great shot was taken by rockcreek from 1819 Tenth Street, NW. I love the contrast of the red brick with the blue sky.

Peking Garden is located at 2008 18th St NW. In the Judging Restaurants feature I haven’t heard any really good buzz about a Chinese restaurant since we discussed the Great Wall Szechuan House last November. So how’s Peking Garden?
