“Thought you’d find this interesting. There’s some yogurt snacks in there.”

Indeed I do. Indeed I do…

“don’t go to Georgia Avenue Safeway right now – someone sprayed pepper spray and the whole place is full of it”

“Some girl started beating on a female cashier, manager broke it up, pepper spray, attacker ran out.”

“Petworth Safeway a shitshow right now. Mace sprayed in a checkout line? Had my back turned & didn’t see anything.”

“cashier attacked, possibly hate crime motivated”

“cashier targeted had some sort of head scarf, assailant targeted her and walked out. Nothing stolen.”

Collaboration #2 is a bright, floral, and aromatic cider that features the Northern Spy apple, known for it’s perfume-like aromas and subtle green melon flavors. It is the first still cider from ANXO, intentionally not carbonated to preserve the delicate texture of this cider.

Petworth Citizen will be debuting Collaboration #2 on draft exclusively on Tuesday 3/29, from 5pm until close. Be the first in town to try it!

For the official tasting and unveiling by ANXO, come to Cider Class on Tuesday at 6:45 pm at Third Floor, right down the street from Citizen. Tickets avialable here: anxociderclass.eventbrite.com

From Redfin:

“We looked at neighborhoods in the U.S. with the highest average gains per flip and found that Petworth was the top neighborhood with an average gain of $337k. Brookland, Brightwood and Del Ray in Alexandria also made the top 10 list.

In the DC metro area, flippers gained an average of over $135K between initial purchase and sale. To be clear, these are gains, but not profits as they don’t represent any investments the flipper made for renovations, etc.”

Which Neighborhoods Are Hottest for Home Flips?

Petworth in Washington, D.C., ranked first again with an average gain of $337,000 per flip. The Washington, D.C. area featured prominently in the top 10. Flippers fared well in Brookland ($290,000) and Brightwood ($261,000) in the District and Del Ray in Alexandria, Va. ($255,000).

Steve Centrella, an agent in Washington, D.C, said, “The golden ticket for developers in D.C. is Grandma’s house, a tired home with solid bones and well-cared-for original elements available at a low price that can be refreshed with an updated look and modern finishes.”

But Centrella warns that buying a flip can be a buyer-beware situation. “If the home is quickly flipped by a novice renovator, you really need to look out for the ‘lipstick on a pig’ situation where the home has been freshened up, but the bones, utilities and roof could be hiding all sorts of unpleasant surprises.”
