Taken at Grant Circle today at noon. Kind of makes you want to take the rest of the day off and have a picnic…

Petworth

This announcement was posted on an apartment building on New Hampshire Ave. I thought it was very touching. Clearly he was very well loved.
Similarly, I have also noticed a number of congratulatory posters for recent graduates in front of some row houses.
Just two examples demonstrating the strong community existing in Petworth.

This is a mock up of the what the new condos being built over the Petworth metro are supposed to look like. And I am just having a very difficult time imagining it. Believe me, I hope it looks like this and with the Great Streets Initiative maybe it will but it just seems so foreign. I’m crossing my fingers.
So my question to you is: Do you really think the new condos being built over the metro are going to look like this?
Bonus question: I know there is a Mocha Hut coffee shop going in (which is sweet) but what other retail is going in or what other retail would you like to see go in?

I know we have discussed the mural at the Petworth metro before but I never noticed this section. You can see it is a cup of coffee and there is a circle with a line through it. What the hell is that? Just because you can’t have coffee on the metro, you can’t even paint it either. WTF.

Domku has followed El Torogoz’s footsteps with a lovely outdoor eating area. You can see this group of fine Petworthians are enjoying their Sunday Brunch in the sun. There are about 4 or 5 tables and it is really quite pleasant. The only drawback is that you can’t hear the fantastic music that usually plays on the inside. But that is a small price to pay for fine outdoor dining.

Another wild statue from the Rock Creek Church Cemetery. Ok, it freaks me out a little bit…
|
Just a neat statue I saw at the rock creek church cemetery. A very nice walk if you don’t mind cemeteries. There are some really amazing mausoleums. Do people still buy mausoleums?

Present company excluded, I’d have to say it will one day be Gore Vidal. I went to the Rock Creek Church Cemetery this weekend and saw his future tombstone. Fantastic writer by the by. I highly recommend ‘Burr’ and ‘Julian’.

Dang. Check out how much it costs to to rent in Petworth.

This photo is actually a bit bigger. Can you find your house?
