Check out the scissors. But I think the real question is – what are the “Oldies”? Is that like a haircut and oldies playing on the radio? What am I missing here?


Is this Tibet?

Speaking of Tibet how come we haven’t heard a lick about Tibet since the Olympics started? Insane, right?


I’ll be honest, it’s really all about the cool stone levels. Lots of potential here though…


I thought this was a really unusual corner house. Totally cool but unlike any corner rowhouse I had previously seen. Do you dig?


From a reader:

Next Saturday, August 23, we will be helping with the DC Public Schools “Beautification Day.” We’re looking for volunteers who will join us in completing a few clean-up and landscaping projects at Powell Elementary School from 8:00am till shortly after 12:00pm. Powell is located at 1350 Upshur Street, NW, Washington, DC 20011. There will be snacks, water and a t-shirt for all volunteers. If you’re interested in joining the fun, please e-mail Scott Jackson at scottj@handsondc. org.

Get involved — Volunteer “Job” openings

If you’re looking for experience running a nonprofit organization, want to further refine your skills, or are just interested in helping DC Public schools in a deeper way, we would love to have you involved as a member of the Organizing Committee. We’re looking for people with skills in project management, painting, landscaping, training, fund raising, sales, marketing, media relations, public outreach, web development, database development, social networking, or special event planning. If you have experience (or interests) in any of these areas, we would like to talk to you about our numerous leadership opportunities.

“This is my dog Rosie. She was born in a shelter in upstate New York. My partner and I fostered the whole litter, so I’ve had Rosie since she was four days old. She’s now thirteen years old, and for the past six years has been working with kids in DC’s elementary schools through a Washington Humane Society humane education program. She’s unfazed by noisy second-graders rushing her in a crowd, screaming “Rosie, Rosie, Rosie!” She keeps her cool, even when kids tell us about their dogs who were stabbed, shot or hit by a car. Rosie radiates love and the kids eat it up.”

I feel like this building has been under construction for ages on New Hampshire Ave a couple blocks south of the Petworth metro. I don’t think it’s the best looking building but I do appreciate that they used brick instead of vinyl for the third floor. So how long does it take for a condo renovation like this to be completed? It’s been years, yeah?

Just curious, what do you think of third floor?


A friend of mine called me up asking for my recommendations and the only place I could think of was the noodle place on 6th Street in China Town. So help us out! What’s the best Chinese (and Chinese takeout) in the City?

Here were the recommendations for best Latino/Mexican, hidden restaurants, Italian, Sushi, Indian, falafel, Ethiopian, and Middle Eastern.
