The other day I was on Harvard, just east of 14th Street and saw these cool bike racks: they say “DC”. Always nice to see more bike racks in the neighborhood, especially cool ones like this. There used to be a real lack of them. I’m not sure how many people will need to…

It’s definitely fall, if the trees on Girard are to be believed. I walked up the 1100-1200 block today and noticed a lot of great fall foliage. Always nice to see this. Until you have to rake it, of course. Any other good spots to see foliage in the area? I bet Rock Creek Park…

If you are missing 4 dildos and a pair of socks, please go to the alley between Georgia and Warder and Kenyon and Irving. No, really. The other day I was at a friend’s house, and he suggested I check out the alley. Not sure what I would find, I walked down a bit and…
The Columbia Heights Community Marketplace is a great resource: fresh veggies, fruit, meat and bread from local farmers, plus lots of artisans and other neat things (Pleasant Pops popsicles, for example.) However, it doesn’t operate in a vacuum, so they’re hosting a fundraiser this Wednesday with beer and wine, local chefs cooking, giveaways, and artisans.…
