I particularly liked this shot from the newly refurbished park at 14th and Girard, possibly to be renamed Obama park, because it was a mix of residents playing ball together.

I saw this a while ago before the front yard was completely finished. I think it came out great.

I’m really digging those chairs.

Another cool example of good woodwork up top.

This beautiful brick rowhouse is from Adams Morgan (possibly on Ontario or nearby).

I thought this was an interesting combination – Zeman Store featuring clothing and groceries. Zeman Store is located at 4418 Georgia Ave. I suppose it’s like a mini Target. Sweet.
And in sadder news, right next door at 4414 Georgia Ave., Fana Fish & Chicken Southern Style has closed:

From a reader:
“Red Rocks is against Flippin Pizza neck and neck for Washingtonian’s best pizza in washington competition. Never eaten at flippin so they could be perfectly good pizza, but it is important to note that they don’t actually have a store within the DC city limits, and they are a California-based chain operation who mobilized members of their club by offering them a free pizza if Flippin wins. So they are most likely getting votes from people outside the DC area. The voting ends tomorrow at noon, and they are ahead right now by a slim margin.
This isn’t to say that their efforts aren’t “fair” since all’s fair in pizza wars… but two can play at that game! So I was hoping you could plug Red Rocks and mobilize your readers to participate in the vote and maybe RR can pull it out.”

At first glance it seems like a normal sidewalk sale sign. But if you closely the tape used is from Customs and Border Protection. A bit odd, yeah?
And in more fun news, the great beer Magic Hat is hosting a party tonight to celebrate 9-9-09 at Rocket Bar in Chinatown if you don’t have any plans yet:

Thanks to a reader for sending in the video of the old Gage School demolition in LeDroit Park (2025 3rd Street, NW). You can see the rendering options here. I’m terrified to say it, but yes there will be a dog park incorporated…
