“Prominently positioned on a corner lot in the heart of DC’s Petworth community, this vacant two-unit rowhome with Certificate of Occupancy offers over 3100+ square feet of flexible living for the investor, house hacker, and everyone in between.

The lower level (approx. 1,100+ sq ft) is a fully separate 2BR/2.5BA unit with a complete kitchen, in-unit laundry, and an open, light-filled layout—well-positioned for strong rental income or a high-performing Airbnb just steps to Metro. Both units are separately metered and come with Certificates of Occupancy, offering true flexibility for investors or owner-occupants alike. Delivered vacant, the opportunity is immediate: live in one unit and rent the other, or maximize income from day one. Ideally located near Columbia Heights and Petworth Metro, with easy access to Giant, Target, Rock Creek Park trails, and neighborhood green spaces.” (more…)

Arlington-Based ICA Language Services Marks 40 Years Supporting US Military and Diplomatic Community
ICA Language Services (ICA), a family-owned, woman-led small business based in Arlington, is celebrating its 40th anniversary, marking decades of supporting the U.S. military and diplomatic community through language training and testing.
Founded in April 1986 as Inlingua Foreign Language Center, a 6-classroom language school, ICA expanded under the leadership of Deidre Doyle, an entrepreneur with a background in organizational management who joined the company the same year. As a military spouse, she had developed a deep understanding of military organizations and culture, helping shape ICA into a trusted provider of language training and testing for military professionals. Doyle became a partner in 1993 and sole owner in 2009, when she changed the name to ICA Language Services.

At some point a lot of guys realize they don’t really have a friend group anymore.
Not in a dramatic way. Friends move away, people get busy, and actually seeing the same guys regularly almost never happens.
