I was walking home from work today and said hello to a neighbor who was relaxing on her porch. Well, she invited me over for wine and cheese to enjoy the great weather. In the almost 6 years I lived in Cleveland Park, not once was I invited to a neighbor’s house or apartment for that matter. God bless Petworth, our porches and our neighbors.


When ordering a bowl of tomato soup make sure it is indeed tomato soup and not a bowl of marinara before consuming.


A reader sparked my interest on this one. Does anyone ride the bus? I’ve always been a devoted metro rider but now that there is new express bus service on Georgia Ave. I find the idea intriguing. So tell me, do you ride the bus? Is it faster than metro? Do people stare at you and smell badly? Rumors I have heard. So tell me the truth, please.


For those of you who get the Post’s print edition, check out the District Extra section. On page 20 they swap Muriel and Renee Bowser’s pictures. So the picture of Muriel is Renee and vice versa. I don’t know how that will effect the election but damn that is a pretty horrible error. I wonder if they really meant to endorse Renee on Sunday but mixed that up too?



Good takeout option, originally uploaded by Prince of Petworth.

For Christina: My girlfriend loves Dannie’s takeout. Granted she loves takeout chinese food more than anyone I’ve ever met, but I can vouch for it too. Good garlic chicken. Anyone have other favorite delivery places? More to come…but in the meantime you can check out the list on Petworth DC here. Just scroll down to the bottom and you’ll see a list of delivery places.



Our favorite bodega?, originally uploaded by Prince of Petworth.

For K. Bonus points if someone can translate that sign above the guiness ad. This is the bodega across the street from the metro. It gets a demerit from me because the cashier is behind bullet proof glass which always makes me feel uncomfortable. But bonus points for Western Union service. Who knew?


Thanks everyone for your great comments and emails about PoP. Rest assured PoP is going to remain all Petworth all the time. However, I will also include interesting thoughts and encounters from my walkabouts. If I can reach them by foot then surely they will effect Petworth as well. But the consensus is clear. Petworth is king and will remain so on PoP.
