This one’s going to be a bit more difficult but the homes on the left hand side of the picture should tip you off. Anyone recognize it?


Maybe if they came with an icepick they’d be more useful. Nope. No one uses blocks of ice anymore either. This has got to be the biggest waste of paper since I attended college. Hell they can keep delivering them once every couple of years but I’m nearly certain I receive these useless phone books twice a year. Any predictions on when they’ll stop delivering these useless door stops? Or is the telephone book industry as powerful as I’m beginning to suspect they are…


It might be a whole different story in the evening but during the day it was pretty sweet. Anyone recognize it?

And and now it’s Mario Van Peebles who may be one of the coolest people I’ve ever met.

I was fortunate enough to attend a meet and greet before the official 5th bloom of bloom, last Saturday, featuring “African Diaspora for Obama” to help get out the vote. From their Web site:

In the “Fifth Bloom of Bloom,” BloomBars has joined forces with African Diaspora for Obama for a night of Music, Art & Inspiration to GET OUT THE VOTE. Mario Van Peebles was our featured speaker along with musical performances by Yvette Benjamin, Kuku, Vicky Leyva, Mbuutu, Anna Mwalagho, Ssuuna and many more.”

Point is, you don’t want to miss the next event at Bloombars located at 3222 11th St NW near Wonderland. You can find upcoming events here.


The right hand side of the photo should tip you to where this block is. Anyone recognize it?


Who remembers back in the day when “face” was used as an insult? One would say something like “Oh, FACE, I just schooled your ass” or something like that. Who’s with me? Beautiful, I’m totally going to try and bring this back…


This is a tough one but there is a hint in the very back of the photo. Anyone recognize it?


I think this one is going to be a bit more difficult to identify. Anyone recognize where it is?
