I remember hearing that there some courts near the metro but I spotted them for the first time this weekend. They are located at the Raymond Recreation Center two blocks behind the metro between 9th and 10th street. We might need to have a PoP tournament if there is enough interest. I have to warn you all I am pretty mediocre…

Can anyone recommend a good dry cleaners up in north country?

Did you remember Flag day was Saturday? I was impressed to spot some bunting. You don’t see bunting on private homes too often this century. Props to this house for kicking Flag day like it was meant to be kicked.

Small Trees and Large Shrubs for Urban Gardens – In Collaboration
with D.C. Urban Gardeners
Join Kathy Jentz, editor and publisher of Washington Gardener
Magazine, as she explores the possibilities of what small trees and
large shrubs you can plant in small urban lots. Tailored to the
District of Columbia region and what grows best here, the choices
will cover natives, edibles, and ornamentals — from full sun to
full shade. For every place there is a tree that is a perfect fit.
Even if you only have a few pots to plant in, a tree can be part of
your urban life.
Kathy Jentz publishes Washington Gardener Magazine, its monthly
Enewsletter, blog, and web site (www.washingtongardener.com). In
addition she is the local garden columnist for the Washington
Examiner newspaper and writes about gardening for Washington Woman
magazine. A regular on the garden spots on WAMU Metro Connections
and NBC4@4, she currently serves as President of the Silver Spring
Garden Club. (Ages 12 to Adults) [email protected] or 202-383-1828.”

When I was walking through Adams Morgan on Sat. I entered the residential section of Calvert St. and noticed an impromptu sort of yard sale. But the goods were all hand designed by Gretchen Cook of Fiber Arts Design. She sells “hip, urban crafts, clothing and jewelry with a contemporary aesthetic”. Keep your eyes peeled next time you are walking down Calvert towards Woodley Park from Adams Morgan. Some more photos of her goods after the jump. (more…)
