I hope they are able to beautify the outside of 3530 Georgia Ave, NW as well…

Holy cow, not sure how I missed this. Greater Greater Washington’s Kent Boese reports:
On May 17, 2010, work on the $7.9 million Middle Georgia Avenue Great Streets project began. The project is expected to last approximately 18 months and will include the area between Webster Street and Otis Place, NW, and include Upshur Street between 8th and 9th Streets.
The greatest changes will come to two triangular parks along Georgia, one at Upshur and 9th and the other at Varnum and Kansas Avenue. Both will get new landscaping and the sidewalks realigned.
Most significantly, 9th Street will be closed to traffic at the tip of the triangle, where it splits off Georgia at a narrow angle. That will become community greenspace, including one of several bio-retention ponds.
The project will consist of roughly three phases starting at Webster Street and working south.
Lots more great info and maps here. This community greenspace is gonna make for a great Petworth Farmer’s Market, hopefully, starting June 25th.
Update: Thanks to a reader comment, you can track progress on this project here.

This weekend I noticed a few of these signs outside laundromats. This seems like a pretty good deal, yeah? Does anyone drop off their laundry and use a service like this? This one is located at 3325 Georgia Ave.

This was recently painted on the side of 2608 Georgia Ave. Though it’s still not clear exactly what the new business is inside. It never seems to be open when I walk by. I do love this mural though.

This cool shot from lifeinthedistrict is titled, “Georgia Ave. Orange”.

Well a reader couldn’t wait until Monday so here ya go. How was your experience? I didn’t stay for the mud people this year but my favorite part was still the big 18 wheelers filled with speakers. So good. Submit your photos of the parade via email or to the PoPville flickr pool here.
This year the street was more closed off than last year but after a while the barricades were crossed.
I’m not sure what part of the caribbean these folks were representing:
Lot of amazing costumes of course:
Lots more after the jump. (more…)

Just saying…

This one on Georgia Ave made me chuckle a bit. Aren’t all pharmacies professional…?

I love this one. Anyone recognize where it’s from?
