I was rather lost when I took those photo but thought it was a pretty sweet street scene. Anyone recognize it?

There’s more than one Market in the East. On a recent Saturday afternoon, I ventured over to Florida Avenue to check out the Capital City Market. Roughly bounded by Florida Ave. NE on the South, 6th St. NE on the east, Penn St. NE on the north and the FL Ave. Metro on the west, the Market was originally located on the National Mall (somewhere near around Federal Triangle) and was relocated after World War I to make way for the Mall we’re all familiar with today.

Anyone like this name? Are they trying too hard to sound like a New York neighborhood? It’s growing on me. I don’t think there will ever be a neighborhood name as cool as Petworth but this seems to be a good effort.

“Two submissions for your contest:
(1) A picture of A. Litteri’s entrance, representing my favorite spot this week – the D.C. Farmers’ Market off of Florida Ave in NE. Last weekend was my first trip to the market and after picking up Italian groceries, vegetables from Sam Wang’s, and a trip to one of the butchers, I was all set for a Sunday dinner for friends. I only found one fresh fish vendor but will continue the search!
(2) A poor adaptation of a good Wilco song. Give my apologies to Tweedy when you see him at show.”
Check out the adaptation of the Wilco song after the jump. (more…)

Thanks to a reader for sending me this photo. It is truly vomit inducing. Rumor has it, the unit on the end lit itself on fire it was so distressed. It makes the pop up at New Hampshire and Upshur look classy. So explain to me how this gets zoned. This is from P Street just across North Capitol.
