These pictures really don’t do it justice but I was blown away by Stoddert Elementary School located at 4001 Calvert Street, NW. I can’t believe it is an elementary schools this is way nicer than my high school. Hell this is way nicer than my college…

The flier says:
“Warm and inviting traditional Glover Park row home. Well maintained hardwood floors and original trim. On quiet street near newly-renovated Stoddert Elementary, and blocks from the shops and restaurants in Glover Park. Garage +2 rear pkg. spaces + street pkg. Finished basement currently used for 4th bedroom.”
You can find more info here and a virtual tour of exterior photos here.
Well I wouldn’t have posted had I originally realized there were no interior photos. Bizarre – I’ve never seen a virtual tour of only exterior photos before – am I missing something? I wanted to post this house because the block did seem really nice, quiet and friendly. From the info we have do you think $729,900 sounds right? Or should we assume the inside needs a gut renovation?
I stumbled upon this intriguing poster in Glover Park. For some reason Glover Park is one of the few neighborhoods where I always seem to get lost. Of course if I hadn’t gotten lost I never would have seen this. It could be the oddest poster I’ve ever seen (the advice to not touch raccoons is a close second). I feel like the flier is almost more interesting without all the info. The section that was ripped out or rather the section that is left is fascinating.
Shot in the dark: anyone know the story here?
For the creative types: If anyone wants to take a crack at imaging the rest of the writing, I’ll gladly give the best one a PoP t-shirt.
I think these new signs look great. Though the one at the bottom of the neighborhood has a bit of an unfortunate location. I’ve always been saddened by the state of Holy Rood cemetery.
But the signs really do look great.

Thanks to all who’ve sent in photos of the zoning permit for a Chipotle coming to the old Pizza Hut spot at 2338 Wisconsin Ave, NW across from the Whole Foods.
Anyone know why they’d need a zoning permit? Expanding into another store front or adding some other sort of addition?
This rental is located on the 3900 block of W Street, NW:

I’m thinking with a roomate this could be a really good deal. What do you guys think – $1795 sound reasonable for this 2 bed/1 bath?
