I find to warn off folks it is better to use a tougher font. These letters are a bit rounded and make it seem like Mr. Tim is actually a really nice guy. Maybe some calligraphy would have a tougher edge to it?

Walking by the DCUSA complex on 14th Street I noticed that there is only this paltry section for Bike lock up. It can hold what maybe 10 bikes? There don’t seem to be a lot of other options to lock up your bike. I guess maybe they assume people won’t be biking there as it’ll be tough to carry home all your tube socks from Target on your bike? Anyone know if the new streetscape plans call for more bicycle “parking”? Anyone think that actually this is the right amount of bicycle “parking”?

What do you think about the rowhomes that have larger front yards? I don’t know, I think I’d rather have a bigger backyard and a porch closer to the sidewalk. Anyone like these relatively large frontyards on rowhomes?

Walking up 13th Street I spotted this parrot enjoying the Saturday sun. Not a sight I see everyday but pretty cool. And this parrot talked more than Steve Buscemi in Fargo.

So I checked out the Crestwood yard sale this weekend and I, uh, was pretty surprised by this mannequin. I mean it’s a yard sale right? A bit much for a yard sale. Unless they were selling the mannequin, damn why didn’t I think to inquire? I guess she does look a little bit like Kim Cattrall… I’ll have to go back when I get my Vespa.

This was a bizarre site just for the reason that it seemed to be on the side of a normal house. Cool.
So is this what we’re going to have to resort to when oil goes to $200 a barrel?

Can anyone recommend a good deck builder?
Can anyone recommend a good contractor to replace a chain link fence with a wrought iron one?
Great news: Georgia Ave./New Hampshire Ave Intersection Improvements Start!

It’s true. Just like I’ve never seen an oriental rug store that isn’t going out of business, I’ve never seen wigs that are sold for full price. So now you know – never pay full price for wigs!

Recommend an Internet Service Provider.
Recommend someone to rehab a vestibule. Nice. I’m looking forward to seeing the photos after the rehab!

Ed. note: Julian’s snap-shots series will resume after a quick two week hiatus. In the meantime, below find a great piece written by Julian contrasting San Fransisco (his hometown) to DC. For those who are not native Washingtonians do you ever reflect upon the home towns/cities you’ve left behind?
