This house is gigantic. I suppose it may be cut into apartments but I’m not sure. I dig the stone.

“A week or two ago you wrote about businesses on Sherman Ave and asked if anything could be sustained. The Apex had closed along with Coco Libre across the street. Well I’m glad to report that the gas station has reopened as a Chevron. The gas prices are competitive ($1.99 for regular vs $2.19 at a local BP), they sell real food like milk and eggs cheaper than Giant, a staff on duty all the time and they have been diligent about keeping it clean. I thought you might like to do an update as this is the responsible type of business the community needs to support. Oh, and they still carry salty snacks and cigarettes for those old Apex shoppers, just not as much.”

The reader writes:
“I just barely noticed this sign the other day- only because it is on a burned-out church. It’s on the 6900 block of Chillum Place NE. (near Kansas Ave)”
So good! Dang, could’ve been a good caption contest…

The building above is located at 1050 K Street, NW. I think it’s pretty cool looking, but I still think I prefer the brick ones. What about you?
I also thought this was a pretty cool back of a rowhome. Anyone ever see one that angles up like that?
You’d never guess it looked like that from the front:

I thought this shot by quigley_brown was amazing. He writes:
“A group of women in traditional dress arrive for a wedding at the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahdo Church on Irving St. NW Saturday morning.”

This condo is located at 1300 Kenyon Street, NW:
The flier says:
“This light filled 2BR/2BA condo is 1 block from Metro, dining and shopping in Columbia Heights. Gourmet kitchen with granite counters, cherry cabinets, ss appl. and breakfast bar. Cherry HW floors throughout, crown molding, gas fireplace and lots of windows. Brick patio and prof. landscaping. Off street parking space is included”
More info and photos found here.
There are some buildings in the city that I’ve always wondered what they look like on the inside. I’ve been super curious about this one for a while. And while it’s nothing like I expected, it’s pretty amazing. I’m very curious to know what you guys think about the photos? $529,000 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’ll open this thread every Monday and Friday. So anything good happen to you this weekend?

It never ceases to amaze me how awesome Malcolm X/Meridian Hill Park is. It was packed with folks this beautiful Sunday. I had to shoot some video of the drum circle. People were just so happy it was contagious. In addition to the drums folks were reading, sunbathing, having a picnic, tossing the frisbee. The beautiful life at its best!
And I forgot Tina did a profile last August.

Welcome to your Monday scuttlebutt that will overjoy nearly half the readership and infuriate the other half. So I had gotten wind of the news a few weeks ago but I was holding off to try and get confirmation from another source. But today a reader sent me:
“FYI, I heard from a fairly good source (though not 100 percent) that IHOP signed a letter of intent to go into DCUSA.”
This email and another source, I think, makes it official scuttlebutt! Does this help dull the pain of the news about Ellwood Thompson grocery store? Any fans of IHOP out there? Think they’ll do well in Columbia Heights?
