To be located right across from the Tivoli. Even better than Taco Bell and Dunkin Donuts combined!

I believe this is the huge deal that is going to be demolished and redeveloped soon on lower 14th St. near Chapin and Florida.

It looks like the Allegro condos just north of the Dance Institute on 14th St. is going up at about the same pace as the Park Place condos going up over the Petworth metro. I wonder if they are completed around the same time who is going to win out…

Have you ever noticed that there is a bus that comes to 11th Street in Columbia Heights and goes straight to AC? I kind of feel like that is awesome. But then I have visions of the elderly sitting behind slot machines and losing lots of dough…

Actually, I don’t and I hate that quote from the brilliant movie Dazed and Confused but damn it makes for a good title. At any rate, The Dance Institute of DC in Columbia Heights is offering classes to those between the ages of 4-18. That’s pretty cool.

First of all let me give credit to the organizers of this wonderful festival. I think for the first ever Columbia Heights Day, they did a fantastic job. Having said that, I can’t help but think was this Columbia Heights Day or Wonderland Day? I went to the festival three times between noon and 4pm and each time there were maybe 25-30 people milling about while in Wonderland there must have been 3 times that number. I should add that all of the live music I heard was fantastic.
But you can see that Wonderland was quite a bit more crowded than the actual festival. Maybe that is because we are just a bunch of lushes but it felt a little funny to me. Maybe next year there should be food/drink vendors on the actual festival site? So what are your thoughts on Columbia Heights Day?

Located just a few blocks north of Gloria’s Pupuseria you can find this popular Taqueria at 3463 14th St. If you are looking for authentic you need look no further. Again, even the Coke’s come in those awesome glass bottles and they taste slightly sweeter because they are bottled in Nicaragua. I had a beef tostada which was delicious and I saw other folks eating burritos which looked pretty mean as well. And even better news – they deliver if you are in a 2 mile radius (202-276-7331). Enjoy.

This house also on 13th St. always impresses me. It also has a terrific garden every summer. Is it possible only one family lives in this house? Pretty beautiful, no?

These condos on 13th St. have been through a lot. It appears they are back on the auction block…

You know, I’ve noticed a ton of amazing murals around town. I love this one off 13th St. It is so much nicer than just a blank wall. What do you think?
