I love the week before holiday weekends. Half of the office has already left for vacation, I’m busy enough that time flies by, and I have a long relaxing weekend to look forward too. Just a few days to get through, and a few projects to finish up and it’ll be time for BBQs, pools, parades and fireworks. Keep an eye out for our To Do List on Thursday — it will be packed with some great stuff to keep you well entertained if you are staying in town for the Fourth of July. Until then, I have a lot of great links to get you through your morning.
- Urban Turf featured the old bank on East Capitol Street that was converted into a house. They still use the deposit box as a mailbox, which understandably leaves new mailmen a bit confused. Either way, this is one of my favorite renovations on the Hill.
- We Love DC gave the history of “Capitalsaurus Court” at 1st and F SE and DC’s official dinosaur.
- Prince of Petworth has the real estate listing for one of the now-renovated vacant homes that Robert profiled in March.
- Tom Sietsema reviewed Ethiopic, making it an “Editor’s Pick.”
- Roll Call called Barracks Row “Foodie Heaven.”
- Brightest Young Things highlighted all of the awesomeness that H Street has to offer.
- Kerry Feehery, chief of staff to Sen. George LeMieu, took Politico on a tour on her Capitol Hill home and Eastern Market.
- Housing Complex and Greater Greater Washington shared the following video from a group seeking to save the Virginia Avenue Garden from the Marine’s expansion plans.
