Thanks to a reader up in North Country for sending this phenomenal church sign. Amazing.
“So what church do you attend? You know the one off Sherman Circle – The House of God Which is the Church of the Living God the Pillar and Ground of the Truth Without Controversy, Inc.”
I’m exhausted just typing it. Now that I think about it I’m pretty sure there is some controversy…
Hmm, I’m not really sure what was going on. They were welding some beams on the roof deck. So what does this mean are they going to double deck the roof deck? Add some walls? A roof? What do you think the purpose is?
I remember hearing that there some courts near the metro but I spotted them for the first time this weekend. They are located at the Raymond Recreation Center two blocks behind the metro between 9th and 10th street. We might need to have a PoP tournament if there is enough interest. I have to warn you all I am pretty mediocre…
This has got to be the best name plate ever seen in the city and possibly in the entire continental United States. Fastidious accounting service. Well, is there any other kind? And I don’t know why but the fact that his last name is Redhead just makes it all the more sweet. Aren’t redheads known for being anything but fastidious?
This is the place next to Beveragemania. I’ve been wondering for a while what it was going to be. To be honest I guess I’m a bit saddened to learn it is going to be a Seafood & Things. I just don’t find the name very inspiring. It’s also pretty funny that they are called Seafood & Things and have a picture of a pizza. I wonder if all the “things” will be food related. I guess going vague gives one a bit of flexibility. Maybe it’ll be a nice surprise and the food will be terrific. What do you guys think of the name?
This is a great a spot. Of course I still need to do my PoP Public Service Announcement. So, I will: We have one more month before the mosquitos go absolutely crazy. So for the next month this is a great coffee spot after that it’s time to bust out the deet and that may flavor the coffee in a less than appealing way.
As noted by a commenter last week, Beveragemania has joined the revival of Upshur St. with some outdoor seating and flower boxes. But obviously what truly enhances the outdoor seating is the dope sky beach style umbrellas. I can practically hear the waves crashing. Can we also note that the store’s name is arguably the greatest in the city?
Thanks to a reader for sending the link. The reader says: “This piece in today’s Post about Clark ES is about a Petworth school that’s closing, an excellent principal who Rhee, to her credit, is moving to Truesdell ES, which is being restructured. And it’s about a bittersweet ending of a school year. ”
I thought this paragraph from the piece was super sad: “Who will be my teachers?” one second-grader wrote. “I don’t want to go to another school because I love this school. If this school close I can’t go to my friend’s house. David and I can’t play about things we learn if my school is closed. I am going to miss Luis and Steven too.”
So what do folks think – are the closing of these schools sad but necessary or just sad? You can read the full story from the Post here.
There is one section of that apartment building on Quincy and New Hampshire that has the dopest garden every year.
More props to K for sending this great photo of folks enjoying their porch and playing some mean sax.
