While Granny Smith Apple may be a bit odd, I’d say Coffee (fifth choice on the left) would be a pretty unusual flavor to add to one’s coffee…

This mini weeping cherry tree may look a little sad, but it is the only thing in five years that I have successfully planted. So rejoice with me. What’s the most successful thing that you’ve been able to plant?

I’m glad to see that the donkey is winning the race…I’m sorry to see he will only win a piece of chicken. And isn’t a bit odd for a chicken to be offering a piece of cooked chicken as a reward?

The picture really doesn’t do it justice but I love these houses that fall on corner lots that come to a triangle. You can kind of see that this house also has a nice double deck in the back.

This is beautiful rowhouse is located at 2020 15th Street. It is a one bedroom/one bathroom basement apartment for sale which looks pretty posh from the flier and is going for $420,000. I guess this is a bit of hard game since I haven’t posted the inside pictures so just humor me and imagine it is perfectly renovated. Is $420,000 a reasonably price for this sweet location even though its a basement?

The following letter was sent to me by a reader and was originally sent to Councilmember Graham. The reader tells me that the Councilman has promised to send the appropriate authorities. It is really quite a sad situation all around. Hopefully, this guy will get the help he clearly needs. Has anyone else faced a similar situation? If so please tell the reader how you dealt with it.

However, the quality of life for this whole block, most particularly for the neighbors located on both sides of him, has deteriorated.
He frequently yells at passersby and his neighbors, using racial and sexual insults that must be heard to be believed. In the past, he has tried to spit on elderly women walking down the street and has begun throwing all the contents of his house onto his front steps. (I submitted a complaint for sanitation violations on 3/23/08 on the DC Government’s website). A consequence of his unsanitary living condition is we have mice and roaches in our house and must pay Orkin for regular maintenance. Letter continues after the jump. (more…)

Will bike rentals work in DC? Thanks to a reader for sending the above photo of a bike rental station being built on Rhode Island Ave at 14th Street. I remember reading that bike rentals have been a huge success in Paris, so will it work here in DC? I’m super psyched, it sounds like an awesome idea to me. After the jump read the full email from the reader with some details on the program and a link to a Web site explaining more. (more…)

I can’t believe I never noticed this Joan D’arc before. Unfortunately her sword has broken but otherwise pretty cool. Check out some other statues from the park after the jump. Which is your favorite?!–more–>

I call this one “the lost art of the door knocker”. You know with the advent of the dreaded doorbell we have really missed out on some fresh door knockers. Cool door in its own right anyway…

Do you think it sucks walking up five flights of stairs? I’m undecided about this one. What’s your verdict?
