Thanks to a reader for sending me this photo. It is truly vomit inducing. Rumor has it, the unit on the end lit itself on fire it was so distressed.  It makes the pop up at New Hampshire and Upshur look classy. So explain to me how this gets zoned. This is from P Street just across North Capitol.


This walkway simply rocks. So let me ask, what types of houses work with walkways like this? I’m guessing my sweet vinyl siding may not work so well with a walkway like this, unfortunately…


I’m a huge fan of the cedar siding. That’s cedar right? Makes me feel like I’m in the Berkshires rather than the heart of Washington, DC.


but given the fact that there is no porch this seems like a pretty cool way to cover the doorway. It’s kind of got a modern flavor to it that I actually think works quite nicely in contrast to the old school row house. Do you like this touch?


These are the funniest objects I’ve seen framing a doorway. Knights! For real, knights. Ah, that is too good. I’d love to have heard that conversation when this decision was made, I imagine it went something like this:

Husband: Honey, you have to trust me on this one.

Wife: You’re kidding right?

Husband: You’re not listening to me. We’ll have two knights and they’ll be in full body armor…

Wife: You’re kidding right?

Husband: And they’ll have swords….

Wife: I thought I knew you!

In fact, I can’t even imagine or make up any more dialog for how that conversation was resolved. So I’ll just stop here.


Have you ever seen storage like this out front of a rowhouse? Don’t you think the items would get stolen?
