Anyone know what the story is with “I Am” Temple? This sign is located on Calvert in Woodley Park. Pretty sweet quotation marks.

This is the home just east of 14th Street (I think Otis Newton but I’m not 100%) that was gutted by fire a year or so ago. It’s nearly all fixed now. It’s interesting that only half is brick up top. It obviously looks much better than a burned out shell but I’m wondering what you think of the final look – thumbs up or down?

I thought this photo from Sanjay Suchak titled, Crossing, was mesmerizing. Does anyone recognize which intersection this is?

I’m interested to hear what you think of the location for this home. It’s a very interesting spot on Sherman Ave. It feels pretty isolated but is actually quite close to Florida Ave. and the U Street spots. I wonder what you think about the walk from the metro? And of course what do you think of the home and renovations? Does $449,500 sound reasonable?

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
Often over-shadowed by the national museums, the DC art scene makes a spectacular roar in the form of a huge and intense month long arts festival known as Artomatic. Located this year literally on top of the Navy Yard Metro next to the new Nationals Stadium, the event features a staggering nine floors of artwork, over one thousand participating visual artists, as well as performers, workshops, and seminars. While the sheer volume of artwork is amazing, perhaps even more remarkable is the elaborate coordination, largely by artist volunteers, to secure space, manage registration and installation of all the artists, schedule staffing, handle marketing, a website, and a million other aspects. The philosophy is
Council member Jim Graham sent approximately 50 emails to various listservs about this vote. He writes:
“Please come to the Ward One Democrats on Tuesday, June 9, to vote on straw poll on marriage equality in the District. Your vote will count!
There will be a panel discussion on the various sides of this issue. But you may come and vote and leave if you would like.
Your input is vital to how the District proceeds on marriage equality in the future. We want as many residents as possible to voice their opinions.
The meeting will be held at 7:00 p.m. at the Reeves Center at 14th and U Street NW in the Second Floor Conference Room.
As you may know, the D.C. Council last month voted to recognize same-sex marriages from other states. I voted in support of that measure. The second reading on the bill was on June 2.”
The PoP Poll on this subject voted overwhelming to support legalizing gay marriage in DC (94% and 634 votes in favor out of 677 total votes). Though a heated debate did ensue in the comments section.

As I’ve recently become a fan of the LA Lakers, Detroit Red Wings and the Bloomingdale Neighborhood – I feel quite comfortable jumping on this bandwagon. Ed. Note: I despise the Lakers and Red Wings but really do love Bloomingdale. Anyway along with the rest of the DC blogosphere, I, too, took a visit to 20th and S Streets to check out the supposed house for MTV’s Real World DC. All signs point to this most likely being the house. There was a cop car stationed out front and some odd parking restrictions out front:
There was even a “guard” at the front door. I happened to notice that the door was open so I took a photo. And the “guard” jumped up and immediately closed the front door. Now here is the PoP exclusive:
You can see there are lights and wires – so this is def. the Real World house!
But I’m seriously confused as to why the filming of this show generates so much hostility. Granted I haven’t seen the show in 13 years but when I watched it, I always thought it was quite entertaining. I’m sure it’s bringing some good tax dollars to DC as well. I have no doubt that some of the cast may be fools. But the fools are the fun ones to watch. Many people feel they’re gonna destroy the neighborhood. So they’ll be going to some bars for a few months. I hardly think that will destroy a neighborhood.
Why does their arrival generate so much hostility? I mean really – we don’t have representation in Congress, crime is out of control, we recently experienced a tax scandal where DC lost $50 million dollars due to stupidity, our public schools are still in poor shape, etc. but some folks are going nuts about this? If only this was all we had to worry about…
