Fear of Virginia, we barely new ya. About a year and a half ago a group of friends got together with the intentions of, in their words, just “sitting around a living room, playing cover songs and drinking Kentucky Gentlemen” (the most noble of pursuits mind you) and from those sessions a band was born. [...]

To Do
May 9th, 2012 · No Comments · Capitol Hill
Ah, Mother’s Day is upon us once again. The one day a year our society sets aside to honor the female caregivers in our lives by feeding them omelets and waffles. On the Hill we indulge their innate nosiness by offering them an opportunity to peek inside strangers houses. There’s a lot coming up this weekend so tonight you [...]

Fun For Your Humpday: The Best Things In Life are FREE (Like Frozen Yogurt)
May 9th, 2012 · 2 Comments · Capitol Hill, DC, Eastern Market
Sunshine, puppies and kittens are up there, too — please don’t think that just because I got to eat a metric ton some samples of Ben and Jerry’s Greek Frozen Yogurt, I’m suddenly forgetting the less-creamy pleasures in life. However, I wanted to bring you all a little of those pleasures, because seeing people smiling, [...]

I seriously love to talk about food and about restaurants. I love to talk about all the different ways you can eat it and baste it, roast it, fry it, sauté it and smother it in something else, for instance. I also love to talk about where my food is coming from and where it [...]

Lost Capitol Hill: The Alfred Richards Brick Company
May 7th, 2012 · No Comments · Capitol Hill
Continuing our look at manufacturing on the Hill, we turn now brick-making. Remarkably, there used to me many of these businesses in DC, including one on the Hill. I say ‘remarkably,’ as there was little to be gained from having the manufacturing site close to the place where they would be used. Nonetheless, for many [...]

Open House Round Up
May 4th, 2012 · No Comments · Capitol Hill
I’m really digging the crop of developer rehabbed houses popping up now, predominately in the NoMa and H St Corridor neighborhoods. These are exciting, vibrant urban neighborhoods. What’s more, since they are not in the official Capitol Hill designated historic district, developers and homeowners have a bit more leeway to do some very interesting things. Case in point, [...]
