Back in July ’10 we noticed that Arisu Korean restaurant had closed at 1734 Wisconsin Ave NW. Last weekend I noticed the arrival of Shanghai Lounge coming soon.

From a press release:
Chipotle, (chi-POAT-lay), the popular quick-service restaurant chain that, according to The Washington Post, “has long been a pioneer in bringing sustainable and organic food to the masses”, will start dishing up its award-winning gourmet burritos, bowls, tacos and salads to the public on Tuesday, May 17 in the Districts Glover Park neighborhood. The restaurant is located at 2338 Wisconsin Ave, NW directly across from the park’s south side. This is the ninth Chipotle to open in DC.
This rental is located at 3817 Calvert St, NW:

$1295 sound reasonable for this basement 1 bedroom?

$1365 sound right for this studio?
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…

This home is located at 2431 39th Pl NW:
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.
