A nice spot to get away from the crowds. Pershing Park is located at 14th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, NW. General John “Black Jack” Pershing led the American Expeditionary Force in World War I.
There is also a very relaxing pool and fountain which is used as an ice rink in the winter. (more…)

“Mona, a female 1yr old Havanese, slipped her collar on Monday night near Dupont and ran across 17th, 16th, 15th and 14th street, and was seen around Logan circle as well as 11th and Florida. She is a fast runner, and is very frightened but friendly. She has silky black short hair, a long tail, floppy ears, weighs about 10-12 lbs, and is only about 1.5ft tall. She also has short legs, and a white patch on her chest. She has a microchip. If you see her, please don’t chase her as she will likely run. Please call 202.271.7702 with any information or sightings.
Thank you so much for your help!

The following was written by PoP contributor Charles.
Farm stands reflect their owners. And so, if you met Bryan Kerney – possibly while fishing on the Bay or sipping something from a mason jar on a back porch – you’d guess as soon as you strode into the Mt. Pleasant or U Street markets that the stand with massive coolers filled with pork slabs and beef to the right, and fresh produce sprawling to the left – not arrayed like organic folk art, but heaped –was probably his.
Bryan looks like the antithesis of the earnest locavores you’ve seen espousing the importance of wormy organic corn or the wonders of kale. He looks like there’s something in his cup besides coffee and the party’s just getting started. Which is somewhat misleading: his meat is free range; his farm is transitioning to organic; and, if he gets started, he can bend your ear plenty about the beauty of a fresh picked heirloom tomato. Only, with Brian you always remember it’s not about the carbon footprint or evil agribusiness, it’s about how damn good the things taste. Continues after the jump. (more…)

This hilarious shot comes from Rahm Guard. It is from the midcityartists tour last weekend. I had the chance to check out some of the stops and as always it was phenomenal. Anyone else check ’em out last weekend. This is definitely the best sign from the weekend…

Outdoor Pools are open!
Mayor Fenty, DPR Open Outdoor Pools
“Mayor Adrian M. Fenty kicked off summer pool season with the opening of all of DC Parks and Recreation’s (DPR) outdoor swimming pools for the Memorial Day weekend and the summer, and announced DPR’s compliance with the new federal Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety law. The Mayor also announced the launch of a new comprehensive website, http://dcsummerfun.dc.gov/, which allows residents to gain access to a variety of programs available through the District government and its community partners during the summer months. Mayor Fenty was joined by Dr. Ximena Hartsock, Acting Director of DPR and members of the Ward 8 community at the Anacostia pool in Southeast.” Continues after the jump. (more…)

This great shot is from gc-dc. I’m embarrassed to admit I don’t where this is located. Ugh. Help!

This home is located at 1364 Taylor Street, NW:
The flier says:
“Handsome and spacious bay fronted townhome on lovely block in Columbia Heights, easy stroll to Petworth Metro. Long term conscientious owner has taken excellent care of this vintage gem. New maple/granite/ss kitchen w/ brkfast bar, light-filled dining rm open to gracious living rm, ideal for entertaining. Top floor “loft” w/ brick wall perfect for yoga/meditation room.”
More info and photos found here.
I think this is a pretty cool property. Lots of cool details. I’m wondering what you think of wood floors in the kitchen? What do you think of the house in general? $525,000 sound reasonable?
