I thought this was super cool. It’s an old Quaker Oats advertisement. I found it on the side of the Gospel Bookstore located at 2006 Georgia Avenue.

Well, the Old Bi-Rite building slated to house Meridian Pint seems to be slowly coming along. Incidentally I noticed the following from the CH Listserv:
“I am a long standing DC restaurant/bar owner, and the Columbia Heights neighborhood is the perfect setting for my second restaurant. I am seeking potential investors to get involved in this unique business opportunity. Please contact me directly at [email protected] for all the details and information.”
I recognized the email address as the same as the owner of the soon to be Meridian Pint. I emailed John Andrade to see if he was looking for investors in Meridian Pint and to see if everything was coming along according to plan. Following is his response:
“I’m happy to say that all is well and I am still on track. I am, however, looking for a few select investors to complete my budgetary needs. As the project has evolved so too has the budget. I, therefore, am reaching out to members of the community who would like to take part in the growth of the budding 11th Street corridor. Interested parties may contact me at [email protected].”

This bizarre shot is from Tyrannous who asks a great question – “What is it?”

More info and photos found here.
I’m thinking this seems like a pretty good deal. Does $249,930 sound reasonable? Oh I just saw that the status says “Contingent” so maybe the question is – was this a good deal?

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. So anything good happen to you this weekend?

Back in March I asked if the gym at 2007 18th Street in Adams Morgan was closing. I just noticed an alcohol application on the window.
It says the restaurant trade name is “Jack Rose” featuring:
“regional cuisine and drinks, occasional DJ, live music, dancing, and cover charge”.
So does anyone go to this gym? Is it closing? With an occupancy of 299 and 150 summer garden it has to be the whole building, right? Does the “transfer” mean that this restaurant already exists and will be moving here? Anyone know more details?

When I got the email saying:
“This weekend I will hit the streets dressed as a tree…”
I wasn’t sure if this was the ramblings of an insane person or a legit cause. Turns out it is a super cool legit cause. Pictured above is Bert Fitzgerald, 27, in Adams Morgan.
He worked on the Holly Tree Farm around Charlottesville VA last summer, and is now organizing this project delivering CSA shares from local Virginia family farms to DC, and partnering with farms that do pastured eggs, grass fed meats, raw milk cow shares, artisan breads and cheeses,local trout, and more.
He says:
“With a CSA (community supported agriculture) the idea is that you put money up front to support the costs of the farm’s growing season, and you get a share of its produce (dozens of different things throughout a season) every week. What we do different is that we deliver to your door, at the time you want it, on Thursday (as opposed to doing drop off points). And we allow people to add a very diverse group of local foods to their orders. If people want to join us we have lots of shares to offer, and they start up this Thursday (going through oct 1), so now’s the time to sign up!”
More detailed info after the jump. (more…)

Definitely making a bit of a statement with this ride, yeah?
It’s the Excalibur!
If Steve McQueen and Dean Martin owned one then it has got to be pretty bad ass.

So last week I received a number of emails about “mini turtles” for sale in Columbia Heights. But nobody took a photo for me… This is why I love twitter! I saw someone’s update said they saw the turtles again. So I begged them to take a photo for me and voila! You can see the small cages on top of the red news box. I asked the twitter user if all three in the photo were selling turtles but she said it was only the guys in white. Pretty wild, yeah? I do fear what happens to the turtles when they grow and are no longer “mini”…
Thanks again to the twitter user for sending the photo!

I can’t remember if I’ve posted this before. I think I’d remember it but it looks pretty new to me. It is from the unit block of W Street, NW in Bloomingdale. I like the folks that put these right on the side of their row houses.
