And fresh fish painting underneath (note the tiny flying fish as well).

Here’s some color for those that don’t like the painted brick. Dig it?

I’ve noticed these signs up all over town. Would you find it acceptable if DC got one voting congress seat or are you holding out for full statehood?

I thought this was a pretty cool picture. For some reason I found it very peaceful. So for those in buildings – how important is it for you to have a balcony? For those purchasing condos, or renting new digs, is this a must have?

This was a wild find. It is a most unexpected park on Hobart Street located off Sherman Ave. between Harvard and Columbia. It’s odd because it is located in the middle of the block on both sides of the street. Very cool. Apparently it was a “gift of Mr. and Mrs. David Lloyd Kreeger to the people of Washington in honor of Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson”. Wild.
Other side of the park after the jump. (more…)

This building sits on a huge lot at the corner of Sherman and Kenyon. It is fenced and clearly not in use. Anyone have the scoop on any development here? I’m assuming this was an old school or something?

We briefly touched on Pasta Mia when discussing the best Italian restaurants in DC. But for some reason Pasta Mia stirs some really strong emotions. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the place without a big line on the weekends. Yet almost everyone I speak with hates it. If everyone hates it then why are there always lines? They have to be doing something right. Right?

The flier for this home at 2230 13th Street says:

More info and some sweet photos can be found here.
The photos look great and the location is pretty killer too. So is $798,425 a good deal or not? Would you pay extra for a “green renovation”?

This comes from commenter “Insider”:
“It’s true Carvel is selling Mayorga coffee. However a newsstand owner has already finalized moving into that space when Carvel closes its doors in December. Now for fact 2, the owners of Cafe Asia (downtown) and Asian Bistro (silver spring) have linked up to occupy the former Mayorga space. Cafe Asia will run the sushi bar downstairs and Asian Bistro will serve the oriental cuisine upstairs. I am friends with the owner of Cafe Asia and he has confirmed that there will be no more nightclub activity. Now here is some bonus info. A well established Miami entertainment promoter (owns 8 clubs and lounges) will be taking over the Rumberos restaurant and turning it into a swank lounge. You heard it hear first.”
Too interesting not to post. Has anyone else heard any of these rumors?
