Photo by Laughing Squid A reader posed a good question: I work in CH and sometimes I just gotta mail an actual card through snail mail… I have lot of kid nieces and nephews and they like to get paper cards. Where are the freaking mailboxes in CH? I know there’s one on the corner…
Ah, neighborhood listserves, the sometime home of useful news, when they aren’t besieged with spam or anti-immigrant rants (see the South CH list for that.) Recently, listserve mainstay and former ANC commish William Jordan got into it with Jeff Zeeman, head of the North Columbia Heights Community Association (NCHCA) on both the Columbia Heights listserve…
A friend snapped this shot the other day, and gave me an idea: guess what kind of booze it is, plus the flavor in the comments! There’s no prize unfortunately, but I think it might be fun. If somebody’s right I’ll let them know. Want to see more Street Booze? Check out the archive.
First saw this Greater Greater Washington post and I thought, “What, dogs pee on the sidewalk? Yes, and?” But then I read more and thought they had a valid point. Basically, there isn’t much green space around the Highland Park building, so dog owners are taking their dogs to a couple small tree boxes for…
The vintage options in the neighborhood are increasing. First Hella Tuff, and just read that a new used clothing shop, Black-Eyed Susie’s has opened at 14th and Meridian. The spot opened on January 13th, and is open Thursday through Sunday — here’s the full hours. They’ll buy used clothing and accessories, and here’s their mission:…
Got this email from a reader the other day. What do you think?What if you purchase (or want to purchase) something that is too heavy to carry several blocks…like several bags of groceries or a boxed bookcase or tv stand? Maybe you cannot afford a taxi and don’t have a car. I live 8 blocks…
A reader wrote in about places where the sidewalks aren’t getting shoveled — namely the CVS at 14th and Irving and the 14th and Girard Street Park, which is DC property. I’ve also noticed that some houses, especially ones on the corner, haven’t shoveled their sidewalks. Maybe there’s a good reason, like the residents are…
A friend stopped by El Rinconcito Deportivo, a small Mexican/Salvadorean place on 11th between Lamont and Irving, and the owner said they’d be serving brunch beginning next week. I’m hungry thinking about Latin American brunch. I’ve never been, but a lot of friends have a lot of good things to say about the food there,…
Photo by faceless b Turns out the map I made yesterday does not actually show WMATA’s snow emergency routes. Despite being called the same thing, and getting the link to the map from a few people, WMATA actually has their own snow emergency routes, which I eventually found here. Neither WMATA or DDOT actually provided…
Metro Tweeted earlier that Metrobuses are back on normal routes. The roads look pretty clear, so let’s hope the commute is ok on the way home. I took the Metro yesterday from downtown at about 6:30 and had no delays, but I heard bad things from some folks.
