“What’s a fair price for my rental unit?”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

I’m preparing to rent out the condo unit I used to live in (see photos). What’s a fair price for it?

Basic facts: Adams Morgan (1700 block of Columbia Road), 1BD/1BA, 580 square feet, washer and dryer in unit, dishwasher, garbage disposal, elevator-equipped building.

The cabinetry, etc. in the kitchen and bathroom is older (as the PoPville commentariat will no doubt remark), though the fridge, dishwasher, and washing machine have all been replaced in the past few years. I’m not interested in further updating the kitchen at this time, so obviously the price will need to account for that.”

Le Liquor Opening in 2 Weeks in Adams Morgan

By Prince Of Petworth

1776 Columbia Road, NW

It’s been a while since we first heard back in 2012 that Lee Jewelery would become a liquor store. Turns out it’s actually a section in the store and in the beginning it will be half liquor store, half jewelery store. The liquor store component should open in about two weeks. A worker at the store tells me they will slowly be expanding the liquor section. When I peeked in yesterday the liquor component filled up three large rows.

A reader adds:

“Now you can get your liquor, jewelry, and luggage all in one spot!”

LA Stencil Muralist Mathew Curran Opens SHRED at Hierarchy April 19th

By Prince Of Petworth

A Piece of Who I Am – Mathew Curran from Napoleon Wright II on Vimeo.

From a press release:

“WHAT: Renowned LA-based artist Mathew Curran opens “SHRED” a solo exhibition on April 19th at Hierarchy, a special exhibition venue and project from Washington, DC based artist group No Kings Collective in partnership with Napoleon Bistro. Through his work, Curran brings stencil to life, creating unique large-scale murals in a process where he cuts away, shredding his chosen medium to get to the root of his art. As spaces become more urbanized with new homes and longer streets, wildlife and nature have receded. In “SHRED,” Matt Curran imagines the natural world pushing back into the city, back against the new homes, larger buildings, longer streets. He envisions birds soaring above factories, flowers breaking through the cracks of an old brick wall, fish making their way back through water systems. Curran captures the struggle for the historically natural to find its place in an unnatural landscape through his unique stencil work. “SHRED” will be on exhibit at Hierarchy through May 11th, 2014.

Designed as an ever-evolving, chameleon exhibition space, Hierarchy opened in February 2014 and is located at 1841 Columbia Road. Hierarchy features monthly artist exhibitions and weekly cultural programming and serves as the latest incarnation of a long standing creative relationship between the artist collective and the Popal family which began in 2012 with the pop-up art project, The Water Street Project, now Malmaison.

WHEN: “SHRED” grand opening Saturday, April 19th 7:00 pm to midnight
Gallery hours: Saturday and Sundays noon to 5pm

WHERE: Hierarchy, 1841 Columbia Road, NW Washington, DC 20009
