Another Harris Teeter Opens

There was a huge response when the district’s first Harris Teeter opened a couple of weeks ago. Yet I haven’t heard a peep about the second one. So the ever intrepid Frank went to check it out. By the by, if you like maps Frank has a blog called Cartographia devoted to them.

When Harris Teeter opened its first store in the District last month, the company pulled out all the stops. Mayor Fenty was on hand, as was Ward One Councilmember Jim Graham. There were balloons. There was ribbon cutting. There was even a guy dressed as a giant dragon. The grand opening of Harris Teeter

I wrote a while how outdoor benches seem to be all the rage lately. Well, this is probably the dopest one I’ve seen.

as I was admiring it an elderly gentleman came out on his stoop and was talking to me for a bit. But what was the greatest was upon departing I say goodbye and he replied – God bless. I love how you hear the old school say God bless. It is also like when I exchange pleasantries with some matronly types – they often say “hey baby” or “hey sweetie” in such a kind genuine way. These are the small things that make up the beautiful life.

This was in the window of the record shop, Som Records, on 14th Street. I like their style. And now I’ve got some new moves for tomorrow night at the Black Cat.

Doesn’t it look like the brick is going to explode on the left. I still like it and the balcony up top is also a nice touch.

I’m really intrigued by the windows on the sides in the front. Wouldn’t they block out most of the light? Check out a close up after the jump? (more…)

I told you it was becoming a trend! Is it wrong that I think of cremated bodies when I see these things? I guess it’s better than a Folger’s Coffee container…

As I was lurking around some alleys this weekend I noticed some mailboxes right in the wall of an alley. Bizarre, yeah? I’m pretty sure they are for some businesses but I suppose it is helpful for the mail carriers. Just thought it was noteworthy.
