Coming to 1654 Columbia Road to be exact. I’m not to familiar with Shawarma King but as I love shawarma I’m pretty excited about this. Since we’re on the topic, where can you get a good shawarma in the city?

I love these “Dental Surgeon” signs on regular rowhouses. I think Looking Glass Lounge or Wonderland just scored one of these.

This park in Columbia Heights makes me very sad. For I’ll say it, it is sketchy. I wonder if it would be so sketchy if it had a beautiful lawn and was well cared for. I feel like this is something we should rally around. Let me know if you want me to start a campaign of some sort to improve the quality of this park. It is pretty beat, yeah?
Even the sign is ganked…


Wow, pizza box recycling, that’s awesome. I hope they don’t just take the boxes and put new slices of pizza in them. Ha, ha, I’m idiot but I told I’ve drunk quite a few Budweisers at this point… Seriously that is pretty cool that they recycle. Cue pizza wars in 3, 2, 1 go!

You’ve probably seen the other sign for this store but I never paid much attention to this one. I think it’s much better. And who knew they also made keys…


I saw this on the CH listserv and thought it would be of great interest. It is from the owner – John Andrade:
“Located at 11th & Park, The Pint, as I’ve come to nick name it, will be 2 levels. The street level will be very much restaurant/bar similar in casualness to Commonwealth Gastro Pub with an open style kitchen. We’ll offer great food, a casual groove, 25 beers on draft and no bottles or cans, plentiful wines and yes, an outdoor seating area. Beers will be diverse including cask conditioned as well as the occasional gravity poured, firkin. There will be 2 “idiot boxes” since I do enjoy sports and I believe few things go better than quality beer while watching some football. Certainly not a sports bar, just some back ground.
The basement level will be equal in size and will have both a separate entrance and internal connection. The downstairs will have a more playful personality and will carry the name “The Joint Chiefs” while still serving the same food and beverages. There will be 4 8ft. billiard tables, to be rented by the hour, shuffle board, another bar and a spacious lounging area with the ability to section off for private party/receptions. A ping pong table top will be available for covering 1 billiard table for those interested.
Scheduled opening is based on 3DG’s renovation of the building but for now I’m hoping for spring of ’09.”
Sound good?

Or maybe I could crouch here. I’m just saying if you decide to get specific you should probably cover all your bases…

This sign is outside the Macmillian reservoir. Awesome.
