Surely you’ve heard of it. Located at 11th and N. I thought all groceries stores had to be Giant, Whole Foods or Safeway? I wonder how long independent supermarkets will last…or will they go the way of the independent book store? Does it even matter?


I featured this house a ways back when I first noticed lots of gas porch lights around town. And now it can be yours. It’s located on T St between 11th and 12th, I think. Who can find the asking price?


A touch of Santa Fe in the city, eh? It needs some cactuses or is it cacti?


This is a fantastic renovation from a new Petworth resident. So let me renew my call for you to email me any renovations you have done to your bathroom, kitchen or any part of your house. Email me at [email protected]

In addition to Petworth, let’s see some Columbia Heights and Mt. Pleasant entries or from wherever neighborhood you call home.

Check out some more angles and a sweet skylight as well as the before photo after the jump. (more…)


So I was thinking we are freaking out a bit too much over crime.  Yes, it exists.  This we can all agree.  We need to be aware and we need the MPD to be vigilant.  But, thankfully knock wood, it doesn’t really affect our day to day lives (obviously if you have been a victim you may have a different perspective).  You know after reading many comments from recent posts, I’ve found myself being a bit paranoid.  So I’m walking to Looking Glass Lounge this evening and this big guy with dread locks yells over to me, “Yo!”.  And I’m like oh shit.  I didn’t think I was going to get mugged or anything I just thought I was going to get hassled.  And that is what happens when you are paranoid.  So I say hey.  And the guy turns out to be the nicest guy in the world.  He’s just looking for a friend’s house and we ended up walking together all the way down New Hampshire.  And the dude was super cool.  His Mom used to live in the neighborhood and he did too as a child.  Point is:  let’s give the benefit of the doubt when possible.  A paranoid life is not a pleasant one.  Yes be careful especially in the late hours.  But don’t forget to enjoy what makes this neighborhood one of the best in the city – the people!
