Garden of the Day will be returning shortly. This Saturday could not have better to enjoy some sweet gardens.

While the door itself is super cool I also really liked the font of the house numbers up top.

You can’t really tell from the photo but this amazing home is up on a hill and makes the sight even more impressive.

From an email:
My name is Hannah Nielsen-Jones, I work at GALA Hispanic Theatre at 14th and Park. I’m emailing you with a somewhat bizarre request. In June, we will be premiering a new musical called ‘Momia en el closet,’ about the journeys of the embalmed corpse of Eva Peron. We are bringing actors and dancers to DC from Argentina to be a part of this production. We’ve already got several of them staying with our people who usually provide artist housing but we need spots for three more, ideally for $300 a month
per person (which is crazy, but theatre budgets are crazy!) either in Petworth/CH or near a Metro so they can get home late after rehearsals. The dates they would be here are April 24th through June 30th.
I think what we would get ideally are some people who have basement apartments they don’t want a long-term tenant in, or are
in-between tenants, who are interested in an intercultural experience, for whom the cash would be a secondary factor … we can offer free tickets to the show as well.
It runs Thurs-Fri-Sat at 8 pm and Sundays at 3 pm, from June 4th through June 28th, at GALA Hispanic Theatre, 14th
St and Park Road, NW. Rehearsals for the show start next week and we are looking for housing asap! People can call Mariana Osorio, the Production Manager, at the GALA office at 202 234 7174, if they have any leads.

I can’t remember if we’ve looked at this strip on 14th Street a bit south of P Street before. I think these buildings are super cool. I’m really hoping that they just get refurbished and not demolished. It looks like work is about to get started and if they do get fixed up I think this will be a phenomenal block. I particularly dig the one on the left. Anyone know what’s slated to happen here?

I thought this was a super cool shot from Wayan Vota who titled the shot, “Telling Time in a Graveyard”. This is from the Rock Creek Church cemetery. This cemetery was featured in the first PoPtrekker.

This home is located at 425 Irving Street, NW:
The flier says:
“3 levels of fully finished space, completely renovated from top to bottom and nothing spared as part of this spacious and spectacular renovation. Hardwood floors throughout, a spectacular kitchen with an amazing backyard for all those great Summer parties coming up. From here you have amazing Metro & bus access to around the city. Park the car and kick up your feet!Open House 4/19/09 1-5pm”
More info and a virtual tour found here and the home’s Web site found here.
I’m always curious to hear what you guys think of complete renovations. Does $445,000 sound reasonable?
