Normally I don’t like the rocks but I kind of feel ’em here.

Wicked cool all around.

This one’s located at 11th and Florida. I liked it because I just read an article in the New York Times about the death of the cassette. I consider this fire box a memorial of sorts. The article starts:
“There was a funeral the other day in the Midtown offices of Hachette, the book publisher, to mourn the passing of what it called a “dear friend.” Nobody had actually died, except for a piece of technology, the cassette tape.”
Anyway, do you like this one better than the one from yesterday? More photos after the jump. (more…)

This is Celia from Otis Place.
“Okay so our dog is more like the dorkiest pet in this photo but maybe she can win the highest self esteem category for going out in this raincoat.”

I thought this was an interesting renovation/extension because at least they kept a porch area. Nevertheless, what do you think of bump outs to the front of rowhouses?

We’ve discussed this question in the past but I thought it would be interesting to get some poll numbers on the subject.

Lauriol Plaza always seems to be packed yet I’ve never met anyone who actually likes the food. I’ve gone on record as loving El Limeno at 2nd and Upshur in Petworth. So what’s your favorite Latino restaurant? Leave cross street if you know them.
Here were the recommendations for best hidden restaurants, Italian, Sushi, Indian, falafel, Ethiopian, and Middle Eastern.

“Dear PoPville,
My neighbors just had their house foreclosed on. Kind of scary seeing the locks changed, though they moved out two months ago. Seems they left most of their furniture as if they were coming back. The banks contractor said they even left food in the fridge. I am of two minds on this. It must be awful losing your home like that, but it was my understanding that these folks had owned the place for 20 years and cashed out every cent of equity without putting a cent back in it. When I last saw them, they were driving new Cadillacs, so I don’t have too much sympathy. I know it will have a negative impact on my home value, but a part of me is glad to see them go, as they were not the best of neighbors.
Has anyone else had this happen in their neighborhoods? What has happened to the properties? Did they rot, or did folks buy bargains and fix them up.”
Well that is a pretty harsh reaction! But I, too, am curious as to what happens to these homes after they are foreclosed. Apparently this trend is going to continue for the next year or more. So, has anyone lived on a block where a home was foreclosed? What generally happens to the home?

I’m psyched to be hosting this happy hour at Red Derby located at 3718 14th Street near Quincy but hell you should know where the Red Derby is by now. If I owe you a shirt or a beer this is the time to collect! The folks at Red Derby have been kind enough to offer $1 off rail and wine. Looking forward to catching up with the old school and the new school.
I’ll be there from 7pm to very late.
