Thanks to this tip from a reader: “Hey POP – the side of 729 Quincy Street just collapsed – the whole side of the house is gone. (It was abandoned.) DC FD all over the place too!”
Just got better photos from the reader. Check out more after the jump. (more…)

I’m not sure if they are good cleaners but they did get a nice new proper sign and for that I am grateful.

This is how we roll up in Petworth…

Hickory smoked is, indeed, the best.

[Ed. Note: Eric Nuzum recently moved from Rockville, MD to Petworth and below answers the ubiquitous question – why?]
No less than four times since we put in an offer on our house on Emerson Street, a complete stranger has said the exact same thing to us.

Scene: Outside Stetsons around 12:30 Friday evening.
I get into a cab and the cabbie refuses to take me to Petworth.

I had heard a rumor a while back that Manny and Olga’s was coming but I just received an official press release today. The press release says:
“Silver Spring, MD – January 8th 2008 – Manny & Olga’s Pizza Systems Inc. announced today the expansion of its newest unit in the Petworth neighborhood of Washington, DC. With construction getting ready to begin the opening of the store is scheduled for early Summer 2008.”
Oddly it doesn’t give a location. But I do think this is a good development. I have a buddy who lives near the 14th Street location and he swears by it as a great (drunken) late night snack . I can certainly appreciate having that option closer to home.
