I really like the orange. And how can you not like a picket fence?


“We are working on a solution to immediately deal with the situation for Yes! Organic Market.  We, of course, look forward to this great business opening on Georgia Avenue.  In discussions with the Yes! owners and ANCs, we’re on the right track to getting this done.  We will keep you posted.”

Ed. Note: My sources are telling me that there should be some very positive developments being announced soon.


This is located in the new building of the Stanford in DC house located on Connecticut Ave in Woodley Park. I’ve always been a fan of political cartoons so this seems like it could be really interesting. Oliphant in particular can be a genius. Plus there’s a lot of material to work with from the “Bush years”. So if you’re bored this weekend here’s an interesting option.


The specials are:

$6.50 Pepperoni Pizzas
$6.50 Cheese Pizzas
$1 off Draft Beers
$4 House Wine
$4 Rail Drinks

I’ve also heard that Red Rocks will be “planning a substantial upgrade to the exterior soon”. Sweet.


The rentals are a bit tardy this week so I thought I’d put up an interesting good deal or not house. By the by, how often would you like to see the good deal or not feature? As it is once a week, twice a week, three times a week or daily?

Back to the matter at hand. This house may be familiar to some because it has the crazy rock garden and tschotkes. The flier says 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths and 2 half baths. It is located at 3400 Holmead Place around the corner from the Tivoli. Another funny thing about the flier is that it has stapled to it an ad for the Allegro being built at Newton and 14th and an ad for the Kenyon Square Condos. The price has dropped from $890,000 to $829,000. So good deal or not? Rock garden after the jump. (more…)

hanks to a reader for sending the following update about the New Hampshire Ave beautification project.

“As a result of a unanimous vote last night, ANC 4C will be sending a letter to DDOT asking that the block of NH Avenue NW between Randolph and Shepherd be maintained without a traffic island, allowing First Baptist congregants to continue parking in the middle of the street during Sunday and special services. As part of traffic-calming measures, DDOT has already started the installation of traffic islands that will contain trees and other plantings on New Hampshire Avenue NW between Sherman Avenue NW and Grant Circle.”

There was also a bit of discussion on this topic over at Petworth News.

So the Friday question of the Day is: If a Church has been here for many years and has come to count on parking in the middle of the street on Sunday, then is it fair to create a beautification project that removes this parking? Personally, I’m very conflicted on this issue so I’ll be interested to hear what you guys think.
