A Very Moving Tribute – Ghost Bike Memorial

Published March 10, 2009 at 10:04PM | Updated March 10, 2025 at 5:32PM

This is a tribute to the bicyclist who was hit and killed by a garbage truck back in July. I was moved by the fresh flowers in the basket.

It did make wonder though, I know there are folks who complain about the teddy bear tributes that go up from time to time when a youth is shot and killed. You see them sometimes on Sherman Ave. or upper 14th Street among other locations. There is even a blog called Washington’s Other Monuments that documents these memorials. It is also a very moving site.

Do you think there are folks who complain about the tribute photographed above? (It’s located near La Tomate on Connecticut Ave.)

More Sweet Sculptures

I stumbled upon a number of them this past weekend.

This one is in tribute to Tomas Masaryk. It says “…creator of democracy…”. I thought the Greeks, not the Czechs, were the creators of democracy…

The warm weather also kicked some personal fountains on this weekend. This one has long been a favorite of mine.

Which reminds me, garden of the day should be starting up again shortly… Be sure to email me if you spot any particularly nice gardens in the weeks/months to come.

I really dig these stand-alone houses that are sandwiched between rowhomes. This one has a particularly dope third floor balcony.

I spotted this sign outside 1813 Columbia Road, NW in Adams Morgan near the Blockbuster. Despite the title of the post I do not believe it is affiliated with the bodega next door. I don’t believe it’s open yet, but from the looks of it the opening should be soon. I wonder if they’ll be able to compete with the cool looking Caliyogurt on 18th street a couple blocks away?

Judging Buildings

Even though there is a curb cut I think this building looks super cool. It’s located in the Dupont/Kalorama area. I really dig the lines of this building. It sorta curves on the sides. What do you think – thumbs up or down?

I’m loving these night shots. This one taken by Sanjay Suchak was titled “16th St NW at Newton St NW”. I love the headlights on the cars. Fantastic!

Submit your photos to the PoPville flickr pool here. I understand not all folks like to join the pool so if you’d like to submit a photo you can also email me or tag your flickr photo “popvilledc”.

This house is located at 3822 10th Street, NW:

View Larger Map

The flier says:

“1925 Wardman rowhouse with completely updated systems, original heart of pine hardwood floors. granite counters and slate floors in kitchen and breakfast nook, slate floors continue in basement mudroom and utility room.

What the Owner Loves: 1 1/2 blocks from Metro stop, one block from Safeway supermarket. Clean, safe neighborhood.”

More info and interestingly only photos of the outside found here.

UPDATE: Interior photos can be seen here.

This is an interesting house it has 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths ~~but it’s curious that there are not internal photos~~. But assuming it is updated like it says do you think $595,000 sounds reasonable?
