This is the building near the Wendy’s on Georgia Ave. There will be housing on the upper floors and a health center on the ground floor.
This is the spot where the Gold’s Results Gym was supposed to go in before they bailed.

14th and R Street, NW
Now you really can’t miss Miss Pixie’s on 14th Street. What do you think: pretty cool or a bit too bright?

This is a fresh little balcony. Unfortunately it is facing an alley but I guess that’s good for privacy.
|
I think it needs a hat but otherwise pretty cool.

Sweet window, doorway and coffee drinking spot.

“Criterium Bike races are very spectator friendly; They basically ride a very tight 1k loop for about an hour.
There are lots of crashes and crazy passes.”

Ed. note: Presumably they have cooler bikes than the those pictured above. Although that would be a pretty cool bike race as well…

I thought these were an interesting pair of buildings. What do you think of the third floor extension on the building to the right? Do you think the buildings compliment each other? Overall thumbs up or down? I kind of like the stone on the building to the left…

Located at 1920 12th Street near U St. the flier says:
“Dramatic, light drenched 2 bedroom + den, 2 bath features expansive, refined living space. Special high end finishes throughout the home. Like a contemporary Poggenpohl kitchen, with concrete counters, 17’+ ceilings, walls of glass, a tranquil patio, marble baths w/Grohe fixtures & secured parking included.”
Sounds pretty posh. But does it sound like it’s a good price for $849,000? Interestingly the condo fees are only $211 a month.
Sadly I couldn’t find any inside photos online but if anyone else finds ’em please post in the comments.
