Tackle Box is located at 3245 M St., NW. I’m a huge fan of lobster and was excited to see a sign here for lobster rolls. You can see the whole menu here but the lobster rolls go for $19.

What’s your overall impression of this place – thumbs up or down?


This is one of the coolest most unusual houses I’ve come across. I think I may have featured the door before because it definitely looks familiar. But the whole house is amazing.

The photo above is what I think is new(ish) construction in Georgetown. I think the “tower” structure in the front looks good. You?

And here’s a green roof in an alley off 14th Street on a carriage house (not exactly a carriage house but I don’t what to call it…). Here’s a proper carriage house:

Personally I think green roofs are super cool:


There have been a lot of beautiful houses posted this week. But I haven’t lost my love for the simple beauty either. This house was found in Georgetown. Is the siding wood?
