This is by far the coolest sign for a church I’ve ever seen.

This is by far the coolest sign for a church I’ve ever seen.

Sweet door(s) but if I was a deliveryman I’d be pretty pissed about figuring out those roman numerals.

Do you dig the gray upper level?
If you need some diversion this rainy afternoon check out PoP and Silver Spring Penguin on Raw Fisher Radio here.

I think I may have shown this sign before but I wanted to add it to this series. It is pretty fresh, yeah?

Per another reader’s request. A quick look at The Allegro located at 3460 14th Street.

This is what it looked like in August.
Below is what it is project to look like:

Thumbs up or down?
After the jump you can see the progress on the building at Georgia and Taylor (where the YES! Organic Market will located), it’s also coming along quite nicely. (more…)

Looks like the Shawarma Spot is coming to 18th Street in Adams Morgan where the Hot Dog place used to be. First Caliyogurt and now this – sweet. So does anyone have a favorite spot to get a shawarma already?


This 2 bedroom 2 bathroom condo is located at 2920 Sherman Ave, NW

So from the outside I had no idea that there was such posh digs inside. So yeah, as I’ve been saying if you don’t want to comment on the price that’s cool, let me know what you think about the condo itself the pictures are pretty dope sky. For those that are curious do you think it can go for $420,000?

I’ve been super curious about Palena, located at 3529 Connecticut Avenue, N.W. The menu looks mighty tempting. I’ve always thought it was odd that a presumably high end restaurant sat right next to a gas station. But I love Italian food so I’m dying to know – thumbs up or down?

People are quick to size up others based on their appearance. Most people want to portray a positive message to the world, and clothes and fashion are an important means to accomplishing this. Ed. Note: I now wonder what message I’m conveying to the world… Whether at work, out with friends or just walking around, everyone is taking some notice of your outfit.
For this Recessionista Guide, I have some tips on improving your wardrobe while minimizing spending.
Clean out your closet – Donate. Go through the clothes, shoes and accessories you currently have and determine what you actually wear and like. For the items you no longer want, donate them. Bread for the City (on 7th and P in Shaw) and Martha’s Table (on 14th between V and W) are convenient places to go. Now you have more room in your closet and a tax deduction. Make sure you get a receipt for your donation.
Clean out your closet – Revive. Next, for the clothes and shoes you still like, but have seen better days, revive them. Take your battered shoes to a shoe repair place. I took about 8 pairs of shoes to George’s Shoe Repair (16th and U), and for about $120, they all have a new life. That is a lot cheaper than replacing all of them. Also, take a visit to the tailor. If your clothes are too big or small, get them sized so they fit your properly. I took a few dresses to Mt. Pleasant Cleaners – I got 2 hemmed and 1 tailored – and avoided replacing them all.
