Pretty cool window as well, yeah?

Not sure if you can tell from the photo but those borders are really intricately carved.
|
The shadow is muting the colors a bit but you have to trust me on this one.

I’ve walked by this house so many times and always wonder why I’ve never picked it for HOTD. Super cool paint job.

Anyone recognize where this is from?

From an email:
“Those of us on the Petworth Dogs listserv would like to invite all our neighbours to the:
Petworth Dog Walk Halloween (flier)
a costume celebration of dogs and owners
Wednesday, October 29, 7pm @ Domku
Contestants – meet at the Clark School @ 6:30pm (7th and Alison) to wear out your favorite pooch, before suiting them up in a great costume. From there, we’ll walk our bedazzled best friends down to Upshur Street where they’ll be judged on:
- Best Doggie Costume – the classic, dress ’em up!
- Best Twins – celebrating how dogs and owners can look alike
- Best Trick – Costume or not, show your dog’s skills
The Domku patio will be the reviewing stand and the post-parade party spot.
Feel free to print out copies of our flier and take them with you when you’re out walking through Petworth. When you see a dog + owner, hand them a flier and encourage them to come out as a participant or observer.
A special thanks to our sponsors: Domku, Brighter Days, Little Rascals, and Yoga House Studio, and the Petworth Dogs listserv for making this happen.“

Pretty sweet, yeah? I probably should have looked to see what the front looked like…

Some sort of improvised doorbell, yeah?
What do you think happens if you pull the cord?

Here’s an interesting house at 23 Rock Creek Church Road, NW. The flier says:
“LOOKING FOR A GOOD DEAL? TRY THIS ONE! (Pre-approved) home with a sep. car garage in the rear. full basement, 2.5 baths, MAKE YOUR BEST OFFER (SOME RECENT DAMAGE OCCURED DUE TO TANK OVERFLOW). check prices in area and then compare, good opportunity for the right buyer.”
More details can be found here.
Wow, “some recent damage due to tank overflow” is a bit terrifying, yeah? But the price reflects it – it’s yours for $325,000.
The original asking price was $399,900. Does the new price of $325,000 seem reasonable given the damage? (Here was a house on Rock Creek Church a few blocks away for $419,000.)

I’ve noticed that 18th Street in Adams Morgan has tons of for lease signs up all up and down the block. Seems like a prime spot for business so I was surprised to see so many. Of course there’s the spot where Caribou coffee was that’s been closed since December. So why are there so many spots for lease? Are businesses moving to different sections of the city because the rent’s too high? Do you think this is a good thing because the strip is pretty congested anyway?
