A reader writes: “With the warmer months upon us, I wondering if there were any choice spots in the neighborhood to lay out, bask in the sun and read a good book?”

If you don’t own a hammock (see below), I’d first recommend Grant Circle if you don’t mind the traffic noise. But another neat feature of Petworth is that there are a number of triangle parks. I like this one at the intersection of Rock Creek Church and 5th which overlooks the Old Soldier’s Home. So what do you guys recommend for a good place to lay out in Petworth and/or nearby neighborhoods?


I normally don’t like when they all look the same but I think these are pretty sweet, you?


I saw them this weekend outside the Target and this morning outside the metro. I think it’s great that they are raising money for this cause. I’m sure they are on their day off but is it a little weird to have city workers raising money for a private charity? Again, don’t get me wrong, I’m all for raising money for a good cause but I’ve never seen this before.


Got to respect the bold color choice. And a picket fence to boot.
