Many probably recognize this awesome mural located next to the Warehouse Theater on 7th Street. I imagine it’s not going to be up forever given the development in the area, so I thought it was important to capture it for posterity. I love the “Free to the city love J” dedication. Check out another neat feature after the jump. (more…)
This Laundry has been converted to a home and it is super cool that they have kept the signage. Check out more details after the jump including a dope wheelbarrow plant holder. (more…)
Not sure what the Buffalo Bills have to do with this though… Just kidding I know it is the Howard University Bison, but it does look an awful lot like the Buffalo Bills, I’m just saying.
Head on down to 11th and Q St., NW where this is a damn nice skate park.
Now since I recently turned 33 I haven’t been going to playgrounds as frequently as I have last year. My knees are starting to hurt a bit. And I get really funny looks. But I stumbled upon a dope sky playground on Westminster Street just off of 9th Street, NW. If you are under 33 or have little children it is imperative that you check it out. It is not a huge playground but it is surrounded by beauty. There is this phenomenal mural and other pieces of art scattered throughout. Check out more photos after the jump. (more…)
I’m really digging these Victorian style homes. This one is located at 9th and T I think. How many condos do you think they can fit in here?
Someone mentioned this restaurant in a previous post’s comments section. Apparently it is owned and operated by Ethiopians and there was some speculation that perhaps Italy’s occupation of Ethiopia may have been an influence. Anyone else know the story behind this restaurant or have eaten here? Most importantly, how’s the food?
I had really been looking forward to checking out the 9th and U St. Flea Market…little did I know. The photo above almost cost me a serious ass kicking. I’m kind of like Vinny Testaverde, one more ass kicking and it will do me some serious permanent damage. So even though that is not the greatest picture you have to appreciate it just a little bit given the circumstances. You see when I tried to take the above picture the proprietor of the stand beneath it pretty much freaked out. And her very large friend advised me not to take any photos. After some serious pleading – alright fine – crying, I promised only to capture the sign and not any of her merchandise for sale. So please ignore the jackets in the picture for my own safety. Please. (more…)
Expo located at 1928 9th St. is fixing to be a pretty cool scene. Anyone heard the about this place? It looks like it still may have a long time to go…
Lettie Gooch Boutique is located at 1911 9th St., NW. It looks pretty cool from the outside, it appears to be exclusively women’s apparel and gear. What’s the scoop, thumbs up or thumbs down?
