I got to give it to them, it was nearly impossible to not look at this advertisement. That’s pretty warped. Well done.
Mad props to New Columbia Heights who spotted a phenomenal quote from the 11th and Monroe Park meeting notes: “Anonymous resident (self-described drunk who hangs out in the park): people in the park aren’t that bad, come on into the park, we welcome kids, we welcome the church.”
And it was answered with vigor, a Columbia Heights resident posts on the listserv:
“We’re beginning a play group for any/all kids at the park on 11th and
Monroe. The park has a history of being a wee bit unclean but most
days it’s passable and it’s hoped that citizen use of the park will
help us reclaim this space a bit. We did this last fall and it was
fun, never too dirty and never had any problems until the cold set in.
So, if you’re interested, meet at the CH coffee shop at 8:30 on 11th
(between park & morton) to grab a cup and then walk over to the park
shortly thereafter. I’ll be with the young 2 year old with blond
curls and probably my wife and new baby most days.”
Beautiful.


Thanks to Herb of DC for sending this unbelievably awesome tree box. I’ve always said it’s all about layers. And boxes…I’ve always said it’s all about boxes upon boxes. Very nice.

I’m intrigued by the details overhanging the roof and porch plus the upper windows are a bit wild. Good stuff.

This is a great a spot. Of course I still need to do my PoP Public Service Announcement. So, I will: We have one more month before the mosquitos go absolutely crazy. So for the next month this is a great coffee spot after that it’s time to bust out the deet and that may flavor the coffee in a less than appealing way.

In the past we have seen mini row houses and renovations but I think this is the first mini rowhouse renovation I’ve seen. So can you dig it? Or more importantly do you dig it?

At first glance it just looks like a pile of clothes ready to be given away which is nice and all.
But at a closer glance you can see a fedora. I don’t know why but I love the fact that someone is giving away a fedora. (more…)

“No bare feet. No what’s that sign say? No fighting. What’s that mean? No fighting?”
God bless Wonderland.
