Ok, this one really cracked me up. (I think I may have even posted it once a long time ago) Anyway, you can see it says “Infant Care 6 Wks to 5 Yrs” and just underneath there is razor sharp concertina wire. Hahaha. I can’t look at this picture without laughing. I can’t wait for your captions. Winner announced Friday.
Twitter user JTNT reports:
“Multiple shots fired on 7th St NW b/t Gallatin and Hamilton. No fatalities, but at least one individual was struck.
The scene as viewed upstairs in my house, complete with many evidence markers, mostly identifying bullets. I heard at least 10 shots.”
And in Columbia Heights, a reader writes:
“I just moved in to a condo on the 1100 block of Columbia Rd and last night around 6:15 I saw a guy running down our street east (away from the 13-1400 block) being chased by a bicycle cop. The cop tackled him right across the street from my house and then literally 20-30 cops screeched into the street, sirens blaring and guns drawn. It was a pretty spectacular show of force by DCPD. They proceeded to close down the street and search our block for what I’m assuming is a gun as one of the officers told me the suspect had been seen with a gun. Do you have any more details on what happened? Quite the welcome to the neighborhood!”
Yikes, I hadn’t heard about this one. Anyone have anymore details?
The scene from Columbia Road yesterday:
I’ve probably walked by this house a thousand times walking down 11th Street. But until I saw some folks looking at the fencing I had never realized exactly how small the area fenced in is. If this ever goes on sale, I’m dying to read the realtor literature. I’m guessing it’ll be called, cozy…
Coming from someone who is fascinated by cool doors, perhaps, this won’t surprise you – I thought this one cool looking mushroom. Anyone know what kind this is? I used to love mushroom hunting back in the day – are there any edible mushrooms that grow wild in DC?
I remember when some folks were putting this spot together last year. I hadn’t checked it out since and there is a super cool addition. It is located on the 11th Street side of the building. It is super tranquil. Here’s the addition that looks great:
Check out some details and an explanation of the site after the jump. (more…)
There’s lots to like about this house. It has a lot of great details. I particularly like the row of windows on the third floor.
Back in early April I wrote about the arrival of the Italian Pizza Kitchen located at 1110 U Street, NW. I ran into the owner this weekend and they told me they’ll be opening up on May 15th. Nice.
You can see their menu here.
The folks at Wonderland (11th and Kenyon) share my love of old school signs. I can’t believe I never noticed this one before (located on the left hand side of the bar on the first floor). It’s brilliant.
I took my first walkabout in Eckington this past weekend and thanks to a reader saw some cool buildings (both old and new). The building above are located on R Street NE between 2nd and 3rd. It’s the first rowhomes/condos I’ve seen in this style. What do you think – thumbs up or down?
I thought this was a cool shot particularly given our discussion on scooters last week. julia.m titled the photo ‘Twins’ and writes, “I’m curious if the people who own these scooters know one another, or if one of them saw the other parked there and thought it would be funny to put them next to each other…”
