The signs themselves are fairly typical. But my question to you is, why are they planted in someone’s front yard? That homeowner must’ve seriously snapped one day. This is my vision of him coming home that fateful day: “Maude! Maude! Those damn dogs did it again! I warned them! Get me my wrench!!!!”
Ed. note: I in no way condone nor intend to trivialize the seriousness of rogue dog waste.
What is this building located at Park and New Hampshire?
I was really intrigued by the little metal thing in the middle of the door to the left of the doorknob. What is that? Check out a closeup after the jump. (more…)
But this one is sweet. Is that leather? I should’ve checked the license plate on this one because I’m fairly certain it may be say the “assman”…
We’ve had some frost advisories so I expect these gardens to kick it up a notch in May. Nevertheless, I support the mini tree here.
This is a super cool row of houses. What style is this called. This particular house was won because of the elephant, of course. After the jump check out a photo of the whole row. (more…)
Check out the “Ticket Place” at 407 Seventh Street, NW between Chinatown and Archives. You can get tickets to “Theater, Dance, Music, Concerts, Lectures & more.” They are open Tuesday thru Friday from 11am – 6pm and Saturday 10am – 5pm. Or purchase tickets online here. Pretty cool, yeah?
Thanks to the good folks at The Heights Life for tipping me off to their investigation of Columbia Heights Retail. This is what they found out about the Washington Sports Club: “The doors are open and the machines are lined up, but the sweat will have to wait. I was told WSC would open on Monday, but that’s only to sign up new members. Workouts won’t begin for “another few weeks.”
Next time you’re at the Looking Glass Lounge at Georgia and Princeton I insist you get this. For $6 get a Berry Shortcake made up of raspberry, blackberry, whipped cream and a fresh biscuit. I don’t even really like desserts and I ate it in about 32 seconds.
On the completely opposite side of the spectrum Gridskipper had a listing of its top 10 most overrated restaurants in DC with Lauriol Plaza topping the list. Hilarious. What do you think is the most overrated restaurant in DC?
I unfortunately missed the actual ceremony but I was able to catch the celebrations afterward. Pictured above is James O’Brien, owner of Red Rocks, John Andrade, owner of Asylum and the upcoming Meridian Pint, and Ward 1 Councilmember Jim Graham. I also spoke with 3DG owner, John Goldman (photo after the jump) who told me that a fence will go up around the old Bi-Rite building and demolition will take place in less than two weeks. By the end of the summer Mr. Goldman hopes to move 3DG headquarters into the second floor offices. Mr. Andrade hopes to have the restaurant/bar Meridian Pint open by December. Sounds pretty ambitious but I’m certainly looking forward to it.
And now for the exciting but somewhat unrelated news from Councilmember Jim Graham. Graham hopes to work with Metro to convert the little park (owned by Metro) directly across the street from Red Rocks on the southwest corner of 11th and Park into a dog park! Graham asked O’Brien and Andrade if they supported the idea and they were 100% behind it. Stay tuned for more info on that front.
