Thanks to a reader for sending in the photos:

“saw the wall painted white the other day and lots of work yesterday and finally got my camera out this morning. pretty cool mural in the park and new recycling trash cans along with it. you can also see the tree pot in the background with ontario lakers painted on. i think it’s an old youth organization that i’ve seen in some historic photos but i don’t know the background.

the park got an updated dog park in earlier this year too. now if they would only fix the soccer field, which is in terrible shape.”

More photos after the jump. (more…)


I’m not exactly sure when this new (to me) feature went up in the Adams Morgan Plaza at 18th and Columbia. I have to say it was a bit disappointing. Previously they’ve had a Festivus feature where people wrote hilarious notes. There was also a more general tell the President feature back in January. This one is asking folks specifically about health care and quite frankly is boring as hell. Most of the notes just say “I’d like health care” or something along those lines. Also, not sure I’d call this set up a blog…

Though there were some non health care notes:

Hopefully, the Festivus signage will go up soon!

“Just saw four guys on horses going down Columbia road, near Ontario. One of them trotted on the sidewalk and the horse left a nice pile of manure behind.”

Who are these people? Isn’t there some horse show going on at the Verizon Center? Totally bizarre sighting for Columbia Road…

I’m really digging the floors and look of this place. It is 2 bed/1 bath thought it seems to have a pretty cool layout. It’s interesting to look at an apartment with old school details. What do you think of the apartment itself? Does $449,500 sound reasonable?


This beauty looks recently repainted. Nicely done. (From Adams Morgan)


Piccante Pizza is now open at 2120 18th Street, NW in Adams Morgan. I walked by in the late morning as the place was opening up so I didn’t get to try the pizza but the space, while small, looks pretty cool. Anyone happen to try the pizza yet?

Couple more photos after the jump. (more…)


This is an interesting development as it seems they’ve bricked the top part. I wonder if the whole building will eventually be bricked. I was kinda digging the light color but will be interested to see how this one turns out.
