If you haven’t already, today is the day to vote in your party’s primary, which in most cases is the city’s final election. You can find your polling place here if you don’t know it. Here’s my endorsements as well, but whether you agree or not, just go vote!
Here’s the latest in the Forgotten Street series about small streets in the neighborhood that people may have missed. The first was Pine Street, and this one is about Keefer Place. Keefer is a leafy, one-block street that goes from Georgia to a small segment of 6th Street, between Lamont and Kenyon. It’s nice and…
Spotted this the other day on Irving between 13th and 14th. If you can’t read it, there’s a little scrawl on the top that says “Apartment 2 supports.” Pretty funny. Just in case anybody on the street thought apartment 1 also liked the guy. I can just imagine how this went. One person stuck it…
Capital Bikeshare, the bike sharing service I’ve written about before, looks like it’s close to opening. They just installed this bike share station at 14th and Harvard, which I believe is a new location. The last time I wrote about them, there wasn’t a 14th and Harvard spot. The service is supposed to be launched…
The DC primary (and thus in most cases final) election is this coming Tuesday the 14th, and as a way to help undecided folks out there, I’ve decided to write up my endorsements for this year. Some of the choices were easy to make, and some were a lot tougher. These are my picks for…
Just spotted this at about 14th and Girard, next to the Dunkin Donuts: it’s Medics USA, a primary and urgent care place. There’s one in Dupont Circle, and while this sort of place might not be for everything (and Howard U hospital is pretty close) I suppose it couldn’t hurt to have more doctors nearby.…
If you live on 13th Street between Girard and Fairmont, you have a new (honorary) street name. The city recently added an street name to that block of 13th, calling it Rev. Dr. Edward Thomas Way. Thomas was the former pastor at Greater First Baptist Church, which is on that block. I’m guessing you can’t…
You may have missed some strange political news lately: a number of Ward One residents received strange automatic-dialed calls from an unknown person or group which left anti-Jim Graham screeds. My friend who lives in northern Columbia Heights received two this weekend on his answering machine, one from a California number and one from DC.…
Photo by Chrisafer There’s been a lot of confusion lately about the Cardozo High School track at 14th and Belmont, which is open to the public… sometimes. Some folks went by during the day and in the evening recently and it was closed. Thanks to Jim Graham, who passed me on to principal Gwendolyn Grant,…
Bike racks Originally uploaded by squidpantsAlways happy to see more bike racks in the neighborhood. These are outside the CVS at 14th and Irving. It’s the worst when there aren’t any or they’re full and you have to lock your bike to a pole or sign or whatever other random item is around.
