“Just saw four guys on horses going down Columbia road, near Ontario. One of them trotted on the sidewalk and the horse left a nice pile of manure behind.”

Who are these people? Isn’t there some horse show going on at the Verizon Center? Totally bizarre sighting for Columbia Road…


This coop is located at 1869 Mintwood Place, NW:

I’m really digging the floors and look of this place. It is 2 bed/1 bath thought it seems to have a pretty cool layout. It’s interesting to look at an apartment with old school details. What do you think of the apartment itself? Does $449,500 sound reasonable?


This beauty looks recently repainted. Nicely done. (From Adams Morgan)


Piccante Pizza is now open at 2120 18th Street, NW in Adams Morgan. I walked by in the late morning as the place was opening up so I didn’t get to try the pizza but the space, while small, looks pretty cool. Anyone happen to try the pizza yet?

Couple more photos after the jump. (more…)


This is an interesting development as it seems they’ve bricked the top part. I wonder if the whole building will eventually be bricked. I was kinda digging the light color but will be interested to see how this one turns out.


I spoke with the owners who also run the wine and convenience store next door. I asked if they were closed just for winter but they are unsure at the moment if the Yogurt section will reopen. They said that there was a problem with their HVAC. In order to reopen it will depend on how much space the new HVAC unit takes up. In the meantime you can still check out the nearby Caliyogurt at 2473 18th Street, NW.

Do folks eat frozen yogurt in the colder months?


I’m a sucker for these cylindrical rooms. But also notice the design all the way up top. Sadly, this one could use a proper door but I suspect it may relate to the writing on the steps. I’d love to live in a group house that looked like this… This house is from Adams Morgan.


“Dear PoP,

After last weekend frolicking in the wilds of Virginia followed by a solid week of rain, the dog was in serious need of a bath. But with no hope for a warm day for a backyard hosing, and the certainty of Sasquach sized hair clogs in the bathtub, I remembered seeing a self-dog-wash place near Adams Morgan and decided to give it a try.

It was truly life changing! Remember that scene in the Wizard of Oz where they come in all bedraggled from the journey and get all buffed and brushed so effortlessly?

Raised metal tubs, aprons, warm water, shampoo, towels, blow dryers (too scary for my dog, but a nice option) plus friendly helpful staff. Basic wash for a mid-size dog is only $16.00, with discount for first-timers. This was truly one of those “where have you been all my life!” moments. Would be great to see them open a branch in CH or Petworth, but meanwhile the trek to Adams Morgan is well worth it.

How often should one generally wash a dog?


“Dear PoP,

I was at Adams Mill last night and, once again, they failed at first grade math when posting their wing specials on their sidewalk sign. Apparently, you can buy 3 wings for a little more than a penny. Unfortunately, the bartender didn’t want to honor their posted wing special. Then again, I was at Adams Mill.”

Hahaha. Good catch. But 35 cents is still a pretty good deal for wings, yeah? Were the wings any good? If you’re looking for good wings, lots of folks liked the new spot – WingHouse located at 715 Euclid Street, NW. But where’s the best wings served by a bar?
