I’m really digging these building on odd shaped lots like this. Anyone recognize where this was taken? Do you dig the building? It seems like that white space could have a sweet mural or something…

I’m not sure if you can tell from the photo but the balconies are kind of in a triangle. Pretty fresh, yeah?

The flier for this condo at 1105 Park Road, NW says:
“Stunning 2BD/2.5BA with large outdoor space. Hardwood flooring and exposed brick walls throughout unit. Unit pre-wired for audio system in ceilng. State of the art, stainless steel kitchen complete, beautiful open floorplan, and great natural light.”
More photos and info found here.
I’m a huge fan of this location and the photos really do look great. Any fans of exposed brick out there? Anyway, does $539,000 sound reasonable?

PoP asked me to check out a wine and cheese open house that the new Parker Flats (or Schoolhouse Lofts, as the new management company is calling them) in LeDroit Park (such a really, really great neighborhood) hosted last week. In reality, it was more of a self-guided tour to check out available condo units in the building, and conspicuously absent from the event until I was walking out was the aforementioned wine and cheese. Prices ranged from $244,900 for a 555 sq. ft. studio to $439,900 for a 1,200 sq. ft. 2 bedroom/2 bathroom. You can see more photos here. (If you can get the page to load – I could not.) The property is under new management, and is now being handled by Urban Land Company. They said there was information on their website, but again, I was unsuccessful at locating any information. The condos were very DC “luxury” condo-like, and perfectly fine if you like that sort of thing. The 1 BR/1 BA on the third floor would only be good if you were under 6 ft or so, as the bedroom ceiling was short and slanted. (Sadly, my camera batteries died before I could snap any pictures of this unit; the rest all look the same, so the below should be representative.)
Anyone else check out this place located at 2035 2ND ST, NW? Do those prices seem reasonable? What’s the scoop on LeDroit Park?

I found something that couldn’t be given away?
I took some photos from the U Street Farmer’s Market. Mmm, Honey Crisp apples…
“Would it be possible to get a blog debate sometime soon so that we can hear what everyone thinks of all the candidates running for the different DC positions? Not a debate with the candidates themselves, obviously, but just to hear the readers opinions on them… Everyone makes comments here and there, but there’s never really a lot of substance or support really. Your blog has so many well read and intelligent people that I think it would be cool to give them the open forum to discuss the reasons they’re voting for who they are, while giving the opportunity to ask questions as well.”
So for your particular Ward and Council at Large which candidates have a platform that you most support? What are the issues that are most important to you. How did you decide who you were going to support?

Ah, remember back in the day how joyous it was to make fun of friends who drank ZIMA? No more. According to the AP “MillerCoors LLC says goodbye to Zima.” Full story from the New York Times here. Fear not: “Distributors are being asked to put products from caffeinated alcoholic beverage Sparks on retail store shelves to make up for Zima’s absence.”
Now would be an appropriate time to share your ZIMA memories…
