I totally dig their sign. It’s interesting that it says soul food and curry chicken – I think that’s an interesting combo. Sadly, it was closed when I walked by but I peeked in the window and it looks like it’ll be a casual dining spot.

Makes you a little nostalgic for Bush 43, yeah?
|
I love this one. But it is in definite danger as there is a for rent sign in the window. Super cool sign, yeah? I hope it ends up in Wonderland…

Thanks to a reader for sending this one from 13th and Q Streets, NW. I’ve seen a number of them on 14th Street as well. Anyone know who put these up? I found the group below on 14th Street near T.

This is by far my new favorite name for a restaurant. I found it on U Street east of 13th Street.

Here’s hipchickindc’s original post on DC’s liquidation of vacant properties. The Post did a small write up on it. But I got a few updates from some readers that I thought I’d share:
“Several weeks ago I came across a post about the D.C. Government auction. Several members posted comments pertaining to what they thought the “going prices” would be for several of the homes listed. Well I attended the auction and to my dismay the properties went for well over the $50,000 – $75,000 some of your members estimated. I thought they might be interested in learning the “hammer price” for several of the “hot” properties included in the auction. The prices listed below do not include the 5% buyer’s premium that will be included in the final purchase price.
2305 1st street NW Washington, DC 20001 – $320,000
3004 13th street NW Washington, DC 20009 – $380,000
57 Bryant street NW Washington, DC 20001- $320,000
100 Bryant street NW Washington, DC 20001 – $380,000
475 Florida Avenue NW Washington, DC 20001 – $300,000
If you recall most of these properties appeared to be little more than shells. Good Deal or Not? You tell me.
I would be interested in finding out what your readers think of these prices.”
Another great reader’s take after the jump. (more…)

I seem to remember reading something about this huge area being redeveloped but I just noticed that all the windows were boarded up. Anyone know the story here? These apartments cover a huge area of 7th Street near M. Are these going to become mixed income condos?
|
Is it just me or is it a bit sad a sign like this has to exist? The sign is pretty sweet though…

I’ve come to appreciate Seafood & Things but Seafood & Crab just seems a bit redundant… This is from 14th Street south of U near my beloved Taco Bell.

I have a weakness for kung fu signs. But I’m really curious about “Lion Dance” is… This was taken on U Street between 15th and 14th.
