How ’bout that iron work? I also like how this house is between two larger buildings. I respect the hold outs.


This is The Lofts at Meridian Hill located at 2311 15th Street. I know this isn’t a super new building but it’s relatively new and the windows jutting out really struck me. I going to go with a thumbs up. What do you guys think?


You see the window on the roof? Is that a functioning room or just for decoration?


I kind of like the brick but I think it would look a hell of a lot better if it was painted. As far as pop ups are concerned it doesn’t seem to bad. What do you guys think – thumbs up or down?


Sweet big porch plus check out the cool design above the second floor windows.


Columbia Heights Coffee has recieved its first round of permits to expand its store on 11th Street. That’s the good news the bad news is that they still need another set of permits before demolition can begin. Still positive news.

By this time next year it is likely that Red Derby will have a roof deck. Unbelievably cool.

The building housing Looking Glass Lounge and the Yoga House upstairs has been sold for nearly $1.5 million. Both LGL and Yoga House have leases for the next two years so there is not likely to be any changes. However when the leases run out I am very fearful for the future. If that building was bought for nearly $1.5 mil then I’d have to assume that rents will sky rocket. In my opinion I don’t think this bodes well. My guess is we’ll be seeing more condos up top with, God willing, some type of retail in LGL’s space (and of course hopefully LGL will remain).
