I think it looks awesome. I’m super glad they chose Duke! What do you think?
So from time to time when I write about Meridian Hill Park people get a bit upset because they believe the true name is Malcolm X park. But I just noticed walking by the other day that it has Meridian Hill etched into the stone on the border of the park. So is that a recent addition? When did the name change occur? Anyone believe one name is more appropriate than another?
We judged the best burgers in town. Now, a reader would like to know where we can find the best crab cakes. I’ve never had one at The Heights but I hear they’re pretty good. A friend of mine is a huge devotee of the crab cakes found at Eastern Market. So where’s the best one you’ve had?

I couldn’t find a photo of Engine Co. 6 but props to them!
From a reader:
“I just wanted to give the firefighters of DC Engine Company 6 a much-needed shout out. My carbon monoxide detector started going off this morning, and my roommate and I called 311 after going outside. We were immediately and professionally transferred to 911, who sent a truck within 5 or 10 minutes. The firefighters were super-friendly and polite, and even got along great with the landlord’s two dogs. They had to call in another unit with a carbon monoxide detector, who also showed up promptly, and led the way into the apartment to test it. It turned out to be a false alarm, but the whole thing was handled really well by DCFD. They made what could have been a worrying occasion much easier and really helped out.”
Sometimes we take the good guys for granted.
Thanks to a reader for sending. Via Realtor.org:
“The nation’s capital leapfrogged London this year as the world’s best city for real estate investment. With the federal government on a path to grow bigger and increase spending, the new programs will need offices and its employees will need homes.
Here is the list of the world’s 10 best place for real estate buys:
* Washington, DC
* London
* New York City
* Tokyo
* Shanghai
* San Francisco
* Los Angeles
* Paris
* Houston
* Singapore”
I feel like these would be very welcome on the surface of Mars. Anyone know what kind they are?
Not exactly a mural but for some reason I really love the dog walker talking on the phone. So random…
More nice glass here.
This is an example of a nice mini rowhouse but I especially liked the fact that it has a sweet wooded side yard.
