“Things you don’t need…on Georgia Ave”. But I’m going to disagree. Who doesn’t need the occasional beanpie?

I can’t believe I missed this one in my own backyard! I find this one to be absolutely mesmerizing. It’s located at Georgia Ave. and Quincy. Check out some more views after the jump. (more…)

Any fans of Everlasting Life super market and health complex located at 2928 Georgia Ave? Sounds pretty interesting. The sign says it is community owned and not for profit. Do you have to pay a membership fee? How are the prices in general?

I’m very interested in this question which comes from a reader:
“Can you give us an update on the street car initiative for Georgia Avenue? Even though there are two metros in close proximity, even on this very site have been complaining that the metros are too far away. So it’d be really great for the people and businesses of Georgia Avenue, columbia Heights, Parkview and/or Pleasant Plains to get some more public transpo options. Can you let us know how we can mobilize and push this through?”
On a related transit note a reader also writes:
“Greater Greater Washington writes about an express circulator-type bus line that would center in Columbia Heights, branching west to its next stop in Adams Morgan, then again in Woodley Park, and branching south bound down 14th street, stopping at U St, then at Logan Circle, then finally at McPhearson Square. Jim Graham brought it up in a meeting last night for discussion.”
So does anyone know the status of the street car initiative? If a street were to come to Georgia Ave, would you be likely to use it or would you stick with metro/buses?

Greatest photo I’ve seen. A bit weather damaged but located with great pride outside a shop on Georgia Ave. (Presumably the guy on the right is the store’s proprietor.)

Maybe in the day it’s ok. But this is outside a gas station on the corner of Georgia and Park. I feel like this is a mugging just waiting to happen.

Located at 2608 Georgia Ave, ShowOff Apparel, is one of the coolest spots in town. I spoke with head artist, Edmund “VJ” Sanyeneh and his associate Joseph. They are unbelievably cool artists. They paint old sneakers, murals, clothes, stools, trucks, you name it. You can bring in an old pair of sneakers and they’ll paint them for $60 (photos after the jump). They have been at this location for around a year and were recently featured on local NBC news. In addition to the cool wares, the store itself is surrounded by incredibly painted murals. This is a store that you should really check out simply to appreciate the art. Lots of photos after the jump. (more…)

Continuing chicken week here at PoP…

This mural was in the parking lot of the 2407 Georgia Ave where I saw the Murals DC Kickoff (see post below). There were so many photos in that post I didn’t want this amazing mural to get over shadowed. Closeups after the jump. (more…)

Thanks to a reader for sending the proposed heritage trail map for Georgia Ave. I don’t know how I missed this. I’m super psyched though. I’ve been pining for one of these heritage trails for a while. Anyone know when it is likely to be set up?
