“Dear PoP,
While we were all sleeping in [Monday] morning, the Donna Ventura reality show came to Grant Circle. http://www.donnavventura.com/eng/ has a gaggle of leggy girls competing to be travel reporters, and this morning they were circling the Circle looking for a good camera angle to do “field reporting”.
Wayan”
Has anyone ever heard of Donna Ventura reality show before? Thanks to Wayan for sending. Their video is hilarious:

Thanks to a reader for alerting me to this spot across from Lauriol Plaza. The permits says that it will be a “New fine wine shop with tasting”. Here’s to hoping the tastings are complimentary…

Back in July we had a Dear PoP discussing this location that provoked 114 comments. A reader mentioned that the benches had been removed and I stopped by on Monday to check it out. Not a soul was around. I don’t mean to start the same conversation again, but do you think these benches shouldn’t have been placed next to a firehouse in the first place?
Seeing them removed made me think of the protest benches I posted about last week.

The Girard Children’s Community Garden Web site says:
“Summer’s winding down and we couldn’t be happier about our first full year in the Girard Children’s Community Garden. Since last summer, the concrete blacktop has been transformed into a floral oasis cared for and used by over 100 neighborhood children, and has quickly become a hidden gem to explore for the rest of the community. Dozens of kids, adults and families have wandered in to check on the progress of the tomatoes, corn and other produce while nibbling on freshly picked mint, cucumbers, squash and more.”
The garden is actually located near 15th Street. It looks fantastic. Lots of photos after the jump. (more…)

The photo doesn’t really capture how many dogs there were when I passed by. Seems like a great success. I particularly liked the doggy water fountain:

I saw a couple of these sculptures in the plazas on 18th Street and Columbia Road. It seems they are from the Colombian Embassy. Ed. Note: It’s been a long week and I couldn’t find this section on their Web site in English…
Do you like they way they look?

Thanks to a reader for sending:
“I wanted to let you know that Don Juan in Mt Pleasant just got sidewalk tables!!! I believe they are great and take advantage of the broad sidewalk on Lamont street.”

Found not far from today’s house of the day, I think closer to Buchanan though.

Oh man, I found some great ones in Crestwood/16th Heights area today. This one blew me away. It was west of 16th Street, I think, on Varnum.
