Whenever I walk by the stunning rowhomes in this area, especially on P, Q, R, S streets, I’m dying to know what it looks like on the inside. Thus my love weekly Wed. house porn. Anyway, I think the outdoor patio is one of the dopest I’ve seen in a while. What do you guys think of the house? And for the curious it’s yours for $1,599,000.

Do IMF Protesters Also Hate General Logan?

By Prince Of Petworth

On Saturday I posted photos of the damage IMF protesters did to two banks on P Street a few blocks from Logan Circle. In addition to breaking windows the protesters also spray painted some red anti IMF slogans.

Before I went to P Street, I was in Logan Circle and I had noticed that the Park Sign speaking of the circle’s namesake was vandalized. Seeing how it is red paint, I’m wondering if it was the same folks. But what do they have against General Logan?

Two Banks on P Street Get Windows Smashed by IMF Protesters

By Prince Of Petworth

A buddy of mine called me when I happened to be in Logan Circle to ask if I knew what happened at the PNC bank located on the corner of 14th and P. I ran over to take a look and it was quite a scene. Multiple windows were smashed.

Actually the PNC bank alone had enough glass smashed to fill the back of a pick up truck:

Further west on P Street I found out the Wachovia was hit as well:

Notice the red spray paint above? Well, a worker there told me that the damage took place at 5:30 am and the police caught the vandals. How did they catch them? Well there were cameras. But in addition to that the protesters had fresh red spray paint on their shoes. Beautiful!

Judging Buildings – 14th Street, NW Logan Circle

By Prince Of Petworth

I can’t remember if we’ve looked at this strip on 14th Street a bit south of P Street before. I think these buildings are super cool. I’m really hoping that they just get refurbished and not demolished. It looks like work is about to get started and if they do get fixed up I think this will be a phenomenal block. I particularly dig the one on the left. Anyone know what’s slated to happen here?

I’m really a big fan of these small little hidden streets. So in addition to the price what do you think about the home itself? Do you dig the exposed brick? The asking price for this 2 bed 1 bath is $479,000. Given the location – reasonable?
