This one is located on 11th Street where the street curves a bit North of Logan Circle (anyone know the cross street?). I actually think the house looks pretty good though I’m not a big fan of the stone on the first level. But I think it blends in pretty well even though it’s a bit larger than the other homes. What do you think – thumbs up or down?
This great view is from Sanjay Suchak titled, Bright Lights, New City. It is the view from Artomatic located at 55 M Street, SE.

I’ve always been a big fan of Brown Street in Mt. Pleasant. There is one section that has new(ish) rowhouses. It looks like they were built in 2004. I’m glad to see what they look like on the inside. How do you think they came out? $729,950 sound reasonable?
Ed. Note: Unit A is also available for $699,000.
You can talk about whatever is on your mind – quality of life issues, a beautiful tree you spotted, scuttlebutt, or any random questions/thoughts you may have. I’ll open this thread every Monday and Friday. Anything good happen this week? Any good 4th of July plans?
“Dear PoP,
I wanted to draw your attention to a new local restaurant. My family and I tried Restaurante El Don at 14th and Webster last night. The woman working there said that they opened on June 1. It’s a Peruvian chicken place, with a few other items such as carne asada. We had the chicken and it was delicious. The prices were great as well. It’s a lot like Pollo Rico in Arlington and Wheaton, if you are familiar with those.”
Lots of food news this week but this is great news. I know people love Pollo Rico so if this is anywhere as good they should do very well. So all the Pollo lovers, check them out and let me know what you think! Is Pollo Rico the best Peruvian chicken in the DC area?

“Dear PoP,
There is a great article in the NYT about turf wars between vendors. Also, there is a new food vendor, Fojol Bros, that travels the city and serves Indian food and is all the rage. Apparently he dresses up as well.”
Wow, that sounds awesome. You can see the Fojol Bros menu here. Anyone give them a try? But for the Thursday Question of the day – what and where is your favorite food vendor in DC?

I’ve always liked this little alley court tucked away within a short distance of Eastern Market. At the original list price of $547,500. comments on the original Good Deal or Not (GDoN) post questioned the value of this tiny home. After a nearly ten percent reduction in the price, the final purchase price reflects $507. paid per square foot. This is the highest sale price for a home on Browns Court to date. (630 Browns Court sold in April 2009 for $460,000.)
Additional GDoN discussion turned to the age of the properties on this block. Public records indicate that the subject property was built in 1908 and was extensively remodeled in 1998. The last ownership transfer of this property happened at that time, for $143,000. Phyllis Jane Young with Coldwell Banker was the listing agent back in 1998 and again in 2008-2009.
A little bit of poking around public records indicates quite a bit of new-ish construction activity in this corner of The Hill. While 636 Browns Court is a carriage house built in 1903, neighbor 628 Browns Ct was constructed in 1992, 630 preceded it in 1991, and 632 and 632 ½ came about in 1985.
Well it was an abbreviated week due to the long weekend so here’s your winner from Matt G:

“Dear PoP,
I gotta say, this morning, I called to get the time for the 64 bus at Grant Circle and it was accurate to the minute! Way to go metro! If their new system works over the long haul, will make it much more viable to take the bus in this town…
Program re-started today. Had some glitches in earlier trials.
Works on-line and by phone….

Each participating stop now has a small round sign, with a phone number and a bus station ID.”
I’m not much of a bus rider but this sounds awesome. Anyone else give it a shot yet? Did you have similar results?
There is also a press release from DDOT announcing “Where’s My Bus” for the Circulator, after the jump. (more…)
