I know this is a serious warning but it still made me laugh.

I’ve always loved this house/building on 13th (I think) just south of Logan Circle. I really dig the color, balconies and roof.
Ed. Note: It’s an old picture I don’t think that dumpster is there anymore.
The most bizarre power outage has hit my block. About half my house is out and half works. I’ve never experienced half a power outage before. My whole block is also facing a partial power outage. Anyone else hit by this?

Wow this spot at 2450 18th Street changes names/themes more than, um, more than, alright I can’t come up with anything but it changes names a lot. It was Morgan’s back in Feb. And of course when it was, briefly, True Story before that it kept changing signs. I’ve seriously never seen a place change names so frequently. I wonder if the ownership keeps changing as well. In any case, has anyone checked out “Draft Pix”? How does it rank as a sports bar?

“I don’t know if this qualifies as a sweet city sign, and maybe you’ve shown it before, but I just love the mural of the giant fish leaping in the air. I couldn’t fit it in the pic, but directly to the left of the lettering is the painting of the smaller fish. Not as well depicted, but endearing in its own way. The building is located on the Southwest corner of P and 14th. And then just to keep with the fish theme, I thought I’d include an international sweet city sign, from the Notting Hill area of London.”
Hell’s yes this is a sweet city sign!

“I think my cat Posh, adopted from the awesome local animal rescue organization Homeward Trails, deserves consideration for the coolest cat contest. Here she is on the landing of our rowhouse in Ledroit Park demonstrating the lengths she will go to catch a feather on a string, with an audience of her sister Fox (middle, another Homeward Trails cat, her sister) and Greyster, our 15 year old kitty.”
“Our lovely Chihuahua Lulu loves ratty”.
Ed. Note: Wow, there has been great turn out. I’ve received so many entries for this contest that I cannot individually reply to all the emails. But don’t worry your entry will be posted! The deadline for entries is August. 1st. Remember, please only send one photo per pet. You can see all the entries here.

“Hey there – my neighbor’s place just went on the market. $709K asking. We’ve had 3 houses sell on our block in the last 2 mos for over asking, so I’d be curious what folks think of this one. I went to the Open House today, and the place is absolutely gorgeous.”
I think it’s a good looking house but I don’t know 10th Street, NE that well. What do you guys think of the house and of course does $709,000 sound reasonable?

When we judged Cafe Mozart I asked about the schnitzel and some folks mentioned Cafe Berlin located at 322 Massachusetts Avenue, NE. I know they have a great outdoor dining area. It’s a good place to stop when visiting friends on the hill. I’m wondering if you think it’s a destination spot though? Is it worth the travel for their schnitzel? Any other items of note?

Thanks to all the readers who sent news about this info. When I stopped by it was pretty crowded as a result of being featured in a Daily Candy email alert. I spoke briefly with co-owner Katerina Herodotou (the other co-owner is Cathy Chung). Katerina told me that she and Cathy, long time friends, wanted to bring a modern aesthetic to vintage shopping. Finding the goods for their store was described as a treasure hunt. They go to auctions, estate sales and other places to find high quality vintage goods. At the moment this is a part time gig for both Katerina and Cathy who currently hold day jobs. As such at the moment the shop is open from Thurs.- Sun.
Beyond the grand opening celebration this past weekend, the spot will continue to feature regular events.
1843 14th Street is located above Som Records and a beauty shop on the second floor (south of T Street).
