Fire Escapes are pretty cool in their own right but I liked how this one has a built in plant holder. At least that’s what I think the cylindrical metal shape to the right of the picture is…

How can you not respect the pagoda? This is a pagoda right?

Did parts of U Street used to be referred to as Old Spruce Street? Anyone know the history here?

It makes happy that there are some folks equally or more deranged than I am…

I like how the house numbers were included in the security door. Very cool touch.

I’m digging the roof on this one.

I really like the metal roof and windows. It looks like it might be an art studio. It is located on Otis Place near 11th I think. Anyone know what this building is/will be?

After finding this one in February I never thought I’d see another.

More props to K for sending this great photo of folks enjoying their porch and playing some mean sax.

I’ve always admired the sign on this shop located at 3223 Georgia Ave. It has been open for four years and features, you guessed it, hip hop cds and also old school go-go. Some of the go-go greats you can find here include EU, Backyard, Rare Essence and lots more. When I checked out the store I was psyched to hear the sounds of some old school Tribe Called Quest – I forget just how good those guys were. Anyway, I hope this cool store manages to survive given the fact that the music industry seems to be switching to MP3s and such. Check out a photo of the interior after the jump. (more…)
