In case you hadn’t heard this yet. From Council Member Jim Graham:
Dear Friends, At approximately 11:30 am, Target received a call there is an explosive device in the building. An off duty MPD officer working at Target received the call and reported it to Management.
Management has evacuated the building as a result of what MPD says was a phone threat. 200 persons have been evacuated. I have spoken personally to the MPD officers who are in charge of the sweep. They see this as very possibly routine they are taking all due precautions. The dogs are entering the building now.
Explosive Ordinance Division (EOD) with the MPD is on the scene. 14th St has been closed between Irving St. and Park Rd.
Inspector Delgado has advised the EOD sweep of the building will take approximately 45 minutes.
Bests, Councilmember Jim Graham

A slightly different take from previous entries…
“Ah, beautiful, well-balanced Andy. He cleans the bathroom and passes out it in.”

This one is located just up the street from this one. It’s pretty wild. I really like how the windows jut out. There also seems to be a variety of materials used (notice the darker color on the bottom floors) which makes it pretty unique. What do you think about this one? Close up after the jump. (more…)

Super cool. Learn how to make your own terrarium. Anyone who volunteers to make me one will gain a friend for life…

Here’s a sweet rowhouse in Mt. Pleasant. The flyer says:
“Welcome to this beautiful, spacious, updated, 3BR, 3BA, home in Mount Pleasant. Enjoy gleaming hardwood floors, granite counters, ceramic tile, fireplace, recreation room, front porch, patio, mature landscaping, parking, and location close to shopping, Rock Creek Park, METRO, and more.”
More details and photos found here.
The home is located at 3211 Walbridge Place, NW. The original price was $724,900 but it is now on the market for $689,999. So, good deal or not?

From an email:
“Sunday Sept 7th from 12 to 4pm.
Artist Billy Colbert will be unveiling a new tshirt design of the U street area, and several other designs from his Policy Brand collection (www.policybrand.com). We are charging a $5 cover, which also gets you a tecate beer or a home-made agua fresca. There will be a dj spinning a variety of music. We are also going to provide a buffet with chicken and vegetarian options for $10. As you all know, we normally do not open on Sundays, but consider this to be a unique collaborative event that we are excited to be part of.”
Sounds awesome. Full disclosure, Chix is an advertiser on PoP.

This is a question I’ve been wondering about for a while. On PoP and other DC blogs/sites people often use the term hipster in a derogatory/derisive manner.
Wikipedia defines hipster as:
“In the 1990s, the term became a blanket description for the trend in the alternative, “anti-fashion” fashion of middle class and upper class urban, young people moving into gentrified neighborhoods in city centers. Often hipsters came to these poorer neighborhoods from well-to-do suburbs of major cities. In youth culture, the term hipster usually refers to young people who may have an appreciation for independent rock, a campy or ironic fashion sense, or an otherwise “bohemian” style. They are typically associated most closely with alternative culture, particularly alternative music, independent rock and independent film.”
Seems pretty harmless to me but today it seems like the term has a very negative connotation. Why is that? Some of the most hate filled comments I’ve seen usually throw the term in. Where does all the vitriol come from? It seems like even “hipsters” hate to be called hipsters. Why does this word/group evoke such strong emotions?

From the same home that brought you this week’s sweet kitchen renovation. Incidentally, if you don’t have a half bath on your first floor floor how many people recommend having one added? What’s the approximate cost of adding a half bath from scratch? After the jump check out the before photo. (more…)
